Year 7 Transition
Starting secondary school is an exciting milestone, and at Manor Lakes P-12 College we are committed to making the transition to Year 7 a positive and rewarding experience for every student.
Our Year 7 Transition Program helps students build confidence, form new friendships, and become familiar with secondary school through a range of transition activities and the ongoing support of our dedicated teaching and wellbeing teams. From day one, students are welcomed into a safe, inclusive environment where they feel connected and ready to learn.
Students experience a broad and engaging curriculum that encourages them to explore their interests, discover their strengths, and develop the knowledge and skills needed for future success. Our dedicated Teachers and Education Support staff are committed to shaping critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and productive global citizens who are equipped to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Year 7 Enrolments
All Victorian government secondary schools follow the statewide Year 6 to 7 placement timeline. The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child at a Victorian government secondary school. Applications for Year 7 open from Monday 20 April 2026.
Victorian government primary schools manage the Year 7 placement process for their Year 6 students in accordance with the timeline. At the start of Term 2, primary schools will distribute information packs to parents and carers.
What you need to do:
- Download the Year 6 to 7 Placement Information pack from Moving from primary to secondary school (available from Monday 20 April 2026). The pack includes guidance on the application process.
- Submit an enrolment application by Friday 8 May 2026.
- If your child attends a government primary school, all communication about your child’s placement must be with the Year 6 Coordinator or Transition Coordinator at your child’s primary school until a placement is offered.
- If your child is home schooled or attends a non-government primary school, you may submit the application form directly to our school by Friday 8 May 2026.
- You will receive notification of your child’s Year 7 placement offer on Wednesday 24 June 2026.
Enrolment applications submitted after Friday 8 May 2026 will be processed by our school as they are received, in accordance with the department’s Enrolment Policy.
