Transition Guide

Help make informed choices when selecting a school

There are many steps to consider when choosing a secondary school, but there are plenty of resources available to help. The Victorian State Government website has information and about what to consider when moving from primary to secondary school, and how to make informed choices when selecting a suitable school.

These include:

  • Moving from a government primary school to a government secondary school
  • Moving from a private primary school to a government school
  • How to choose a school and enrol
  • School zones
  • School costs and fees
  • Tips for starting school
  • Travelling to school

Year 7 Enrolment

If your child currently attends a state primary school, that school will have sent you a Year 6 to Year 7 Transitions: Application for Year 7 Placement Form at the start of Year 6.

If you would like your child to attend William Ruthven Secondary College, you should list it as your first choice of the three preferences you need to provide on this form and return it to your Primary School Transition Coordinator.

If your child attends an independent primary school, email the school at William.ruthven.sc@education.vic.gov.au or phone the College on (03) 9462 2177 to have the enrolment forms sent to you. Send completed forms to William Ruthven Secondary College.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to play an active role in their child’s education, and become part of the William Ruthven Secondary College team.
