Enrol
We accept enrolments from students of all year levels. We encourage you to book a tour at our school for you and your child before deciding to enrol your child at the school. We run tours throughout the year with the principal and student leaders and it is a great opportunity to see the school in action.
Grade 6 to Year 7 Transition Enrolment
Students transitioning to secondary school must follow the enrolment process that applies to their residential address. There are different documentation and processes that are applied and your child’s current school will issue you all the paperwork.
If your child is in Year 6, you will need to follow the process set down by the Department of Education and Training (DET).
- Use Find My School to determine whether you are in the Mount Alexander College zone.
- More info on the DET Website – ‘Moving from Primary School to Secondary School: Information for Parents and Carers’
- Refer to the Enrolment: Placement Policy
All application documents are issued and processed by the primary school.

The Enrolment Process is for students who are currently in another secondary school. Parents/carers will need to complete an online Expression of Interest form and provide documents of the 100-point address check.
