How To Enrol
Important Enrolment Information for all Students
To assist Pakenham Secondary College in confirming your child's eligibility for enrolment, and in line with Department of Education guidelines, you will be required to provide us with 100 points of documentation, please refer to Residential Address Check (pdf) requirements.
Documents should show the same address and the parent's/carer's name as recorded on the school enrolment application form.
It is important that we verify your child's permanent residential address, as this helps ensure that we are allocating places at our school fairly and in line with the Placement Policy.
If you are unable to provide proof of permanent residence becase of your individual circumstances, please contact Kate Logan, Assistant Principal, by contacting the College on 5945 1433.
If our school is unable to verify your permanent residence, or your address changes prior to the start of the school year, enrolment may be withdrawn.
