Starting High School in 2025

Key information is provided below to prepare for a successful transition into Secondary School @ https://bit.ly/4aS2xnT

Enrolment form will come via an email from the Department for Education

You will be sent an email in mid-August from education.noreply@sa.gov.au with your unique enrolment offer – please check your junk/spam folder for this email or do a search for emails from education.noreply@sa.gov.au. If, after completing these steps, you cannot locate your enrolment offer, please let the school know as soon as possible.

Enrolments can be completed online or using the paper pack your child received via their primary school. Please return completed packs to our office.

To complete your online enrolment form, click the Secondary School Enrolment hyperlink in the body of the email from education.noreply@sa.gov.au and follow the prompts. An enrolment form must be submitted for your child to be given a placement at Para Hills High School.

When using the online enrolment form, please note:

you can access the form from any computer or tablet when connected to the internet. The form works best in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (completing the form on a mobile device is not recommended)
while completing the form you will be asked to upload copies of key documents that verify your young person’s identity and residential address
documents should be uploaded in pdf. or jpg. format only
both parents will be asked to complete and authorise the enrolment, where appropriate. Once the first enrolling parent has completed their sections, an email will be automatically generated and sent to the second enrolling parent to complete the remaining sections. In these cases, the enrolment form will only be submitted once the second enrolling parent has completed their section.

Parent information sessions

To help your young person make the transition to high school, the Para Hills High School transition team will be holding parent information sessions for parents of incoming year 7 students. The date will be confirmed in term 2, 2024

These sessions provide an opportunity for our staff to connect with families who have not had an enrolment interview or families who still have questions about their young person’s enrolment.

Our staff will also use these sessions to collect any outstanding paperwork, conduct school tours and arrange additional transition visits for students who need it.

Transition Days @ PHHS

Thursday 5 December & Friday 6 December 2024

Transition will give new students the opportunity to experience life at Para Hills High School and ask any questions they may have. Students will be welcomed and organised into their pastoral care classes. Each class will then have a session with their pastoral care teacher, who will go through the school rules and procedures and take students on a tour of the school. During the day all students will have their ID photos taken and will participate in lessons in a variety of subjects.

Stationery

Stationery (no more stationery lists - we will provide packs)

To ensure our new students start high school in an organised manner, we will provide each student with a stationery pack. The packs contain all the basics that students need, including pens, pencils, erasers, and rulers and more.
