Permanent residential address requirements
For the purpose of student enrolment in Victorian Government schools, the Department of Education considers a permanent place of residence as the address at which a student permanently resides at the time of seeking enrolment. If a student resides at multiple addresses, their permanent residence is deemed as the address at which they spend the majority of their weekdays.
If the student spends an equal amount of time at two addresses, both addresses will be considered the student’s permanent address and the student will be entitled to enrol in the designated neighbourhood school for either address.
All new enrolments and transfers to Ballarat High School are required to meet a 100 Point Residential Address Check . Documents provided, totalling at least 100 points, must show:
Full name of the prospective student’s parent/carer
and
Permanent residential address
To assist Ballarat High School in assessing your student’s eligibility for enrolment, please include the required documents (originals or certified copies) with your enrolment application.
When assessing your child’s enrolment application, Ballarat High School may make some enquiries to confirm the information provided on your application form is correct.
Enrolment applications may not be successful if the requested documentation is not provided.
If, after reasonable enquiries, the Principal does not accept that the address provided on the enrolment application form is the genuine permanent residence of the student, the placement or enrolment application may not be successful, or may be withdrawn.
