Transitional Enrolment

If your child is currently in year six or seven and wishes to attend Modbury High School from year seven or eight in 2022, please view the information below.

Additional information about the transitional enrolment process for 2022 can be obtained from your child's government primary school.

TRANSITION PROCESS

For year six and seven students attending a public school, "Starting Secondary School" packs will be received from their primary school during week one of term two (the last week in April, 2021).

Year six and seven students attending private schools may pick up a "Starting Secondary School" pack from Modbury High School during week one or two of term two, 2021.

The pack contains information about applying to schools other than the guaranteed zoned high school.

If you are accepted to Modbury High School, enrolment acceptance packs will be distributed by the primary schools on Friday, 13 August. Private school students who have been accepted will have packs sent to their home addresses in the same week.

Acceptance of enrolment forms should be returned to the student's primary school by Friday, 27 August. Private school students should return forms directly to Modbury High School. 

Zoning Criteria

  1. In-Zone enrolments

  3. Proof of residence is required for example; current council rates or a gas/electricity bill.
