Enrolment Process

Year 6 into 7 2026 Local

If your child is currently enrolled in Year 6 in a public primary school, and you wish to apply to enrol in our school in Year 7 of the following year, contact the Year 6 Coordinator at your current primary school to obtain an "Expression of Interest" form to complete and return to them. The primary school will forward the information to us and we will contact you once a decision has been made about your child's potential enrolment, and next steps.

In NSW Government schools, applying to move from primary school to high school is a 2-step process:

STEP 1 - The first step is to complete a Moving to high school expression of interest.

When completing the form, you will be able to indicate which school(s) you would like your child to attend in Year 7. This form will be provided and submitted through your current Primary School.

STEP 2 - The second step is to submit an enrolment application, which will be issued to you by the high school after they have assessed your expression of interest.

If your child is currently attending a NSW non-Government school, please contact our school directly for an Expression of Interest form.

If your child is currently enrolled in Year 6 in a non-government primary school, and you wish to apply to enrol for our school in Year 7 of the following year, contact us to obtain an "Expression of Interest" form to complete and return to us.

Year 7 Scholarships

The Jannali High School proudly awards a Year 7 Scholarship each year to a deserving Year 6 student from each of our partner primary schools across the HOTSCOS. These exceptional students are nominated by their own teachers in recognition of their positive contributions to school life throughout their primary years. Our scholarship recipients embody the values of Cooperate, Achieve, Respect, and Engage, and are chosen for their commitment to upholding these principles as they transition to high school. Beyond recognising their achievements, the Year 7 Scholarship also supports parents and carers by helping with the expenses associated with starting high school, including uniform, Year 7 Camp, excursions, and other course fees. We are excited to welcome these outstanding young leaders to The Jannali High School community, where they will continue to grow, contribute, and inspire for many years to come. The Year 7 Scholarship Awards are presented to the recipient at the school’s annual presentation day by the Principal of The Jannali High School. We have a proud tradition of recipients of the scholarship contributing positively to school life at The Jannali High School and striving for personal best.

Year 6 students are provided with the opportunity to participate in our high school transition program in Term 4 each year.

At our school, students can take part in special religious education (SRE) or special education in ethics (SEE) classes, depending on what’s available. These classes are delivered by approved providers.

When enrolling your child, you’ll be able to choose an option from the approved providers offered at our school. Students not attending SRE or SEE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.

You’re welcome to change your choice at any time. Just let us know in writing or use the online form (if available at our school).
