Year 6 to Year 7 Transition

Is your child in year 6 - and moving to high school next year? Click here to start the enrolment in Year 7 process.

Every child is entitled to be enrolled at the government school that is designated for the intake area within which the child's home is situated, and that the child is eligible to attend.

Primary schools manage the annual Year 6 to 7 transition into high school process using the Department's online enrolment system.

High schools can assist with enrolment enquiries throughout the year. Parents should watch this video about the process of moving into Year 7.

Moving into high school is an important process managed by your child's primary school.

Springwood Public School is a feeder school to SPRINGWOOD HIGH SCHOOL.  For more information about Springwood High School, please follow this link.
