Transferring from Victorian independent schools / interstate / overseas
Students who have NOT previously been enrolled in a Victorian Government School, or who are moving from interstate or overseas, are required to complete their enrolment enquiry via the Victorian Government Portal for parents and carers.
Due to significant enrolment pressure, only students who reside within the designated Box Hill High School zone are eligible to be considered for enrolment. Please note that students must be residing at their in-zone address at the time of submitting their enrolment enquiry.
Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined based on your permanent residential address.
If a student applying from overseas requires language support, they will be directed to a language school as their first place of enrolment. Eligible students can attend an English language school, campus or centre for between two and four terms. The small class sizes and high number of contact hours enable EAL teachers to deliver an intensive English language program (also known as a new arrivals program) tailored to the differing needs of students. This helps them to adapt as quickly as possible to the Australian education system and society.
Students who qualify for English Language assistance will be directed to a government funded language school and subsequent enrolment at government secondary school will be managed by the language school.
Please refer to Blackburn English Language School or any of the government-funded Language schools listed on the DE website.
Determining permanent residence
We request the provision of supporting documentation to verify your permanent residential address within the Box Hill High School zone. Documents should show the same address and parent/guardian name as recorded on the school enrolment submission.
If deemed necessary, we may request additional supporting documentation after reviewing your enrolment enquiry, to confirm your child’s eligibility to enrol at Box Hill High School.
