Government school student
Return your completed Application for Year 7 Placement form (included in the Parent Transition Pack) to your primary school in May. Your primary school then sends the form to your first-preference secondary school.
You will be notified of your placement by your primary school in August, and can either accept or appeal the placement.
Non-government school student
If your child is attending a Catholic or independent primary school, you need to apply directly to Echuca College.
The process follows the same timeline as government schools
How to enrol (non-government school student)
Enrol on curriculum grounds
If you live outside the Echuca College zone, you can apply to enrol your child on specific curriculum grounds.
To apply, submit the Curriculum Claim application for Yr 7 2026 and any supporting documentation with your enrolment application form (both government and non-government school applications).
It is important to note that places are only available if there is space after all local students and siblings have been accommodated. For more information, see our enrolment policy.
