To assist parents and carers of students transitioning to a government school in Year 7 in 2024, the Department of Education will release in Week 1 of Term 2, 2023 a Year 6 to Year 7 Placement Information Pack.  This pack will  contain the Year 7 placement form.  Stay tuned for more information from GIPS! 

Selecting a Secondary School that best meets the needs and aspirations of their children requires time and effort on the part of the parents.

We encourage all parents to explore secondary school options for their children as early as possible.  You should allow plenty of time to visit different schools, attend information sessions and talk to other parents. 

The Victorian Department of Education offers useful information that should help you get started with the selection and enrolment process:
