Enrolment Information

Thank you for your interest in Balwyn High School for your child’s secondary education.

The Balwyn High School enrolment process strictly follows the requirements of the Victorian Department of Education and Training which prioritises permanent residency within the Balwyn High School zone. Prospective enrolments are required to provide evidence of their ongoing and permanent residence within the zone.

Our school has an enrolment restriction under section 2.2.16 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic). Approved entry criteria for year 7 students in 2026 are:

• students who live within the school zone
• students with a sibling attending the school at the same time
• students seeking enrolment on compassionate grounds, in exceptional circumstances

Students seeking enrolment in Year 7 must meet one of the above criteria to be eligible for enrolment in 2026. Students seeking enrolment in other year levels continue to be subject to the Placement Policy.

The Department will review this enrolment restriction yearly and provide updated advice as necessary for the subsequent school year

Please ensure that you have confirmed that your residence is inside the Designated Zone prior to contacting the school using the form linked below.
