Enrolment

We welcome all enquiries from prospective students, parents, and members of our community.

During Term 1 each year, we hold an Open Night to showcase our school, student achievements and specialist programs. We invite the families of all potential students to attend this informative and inspiring event.

In addition, families may wish to join one of our regular Principal’s Tours, which take place throughout the term. These tours provide the opportunity to see the school in action on a regular school day.  Bookings are essential.  As numbers may be limited, we do recommend that you book early.

Year 7 Enrolment

As is standard throughout South Australia, the Year 7 Enrolment process is managed by the Department for Education (DfE), not the individual school.

The deadline for the application to be submitted is mid-May, and the Department then allocates students to schools for the following year. Students will be notified of their allocation by the Department in mid-August.

Any questions should be directed to the Department for Education.

Enrolments in other year levels or during the school year

The enrolment process is as follows:

1. Application for enrolment form is completed and returned to Mount Barker High School

2. The Wellbeing Coach assesses the application

3. The previous school of enrolment and any other relevant people will be contacted

4. If the decision is made to support the enrolment, you will be contacted to arrange an interview (if Mount Barker High School is your school of right, your enrolment will be supported)

5. If the decision is made not to support the enrolment, you will be notified, including the reason for denying the enrolment
