Permanent Residential Address Requirements
For the purpose of student enrolment in Victorian Government Schools, the Department of Education considers permanent place of residence is the address at which they permanently reside at the time of seeking enrolment. If a student resides at multiple addresses, their ‘permanent residence’ is 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.
To assist Ballarat High School in assessing your student’s eligibility for enrolment, please include the following documents (originals or certified copies) with your Enrolment Applications.
All new enrolments and transfers to Ballarat High School will be required to meet the 100 point residential address check. You are required to provide documents totaling at least 100 points showing:
Full name of the prospective student’s parent/carer
and
Permanent residential address
Details of relevant documents and their point values can be found in the document below.
100 Point Residential Address Check
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the genuine permanent residence of the student, the placement or enrolment application may not be successful or may be withdrawn.
