The online application for college placement is for students who wish to apply for a place as a year 11 student at a public college for 2010. Once you are placed at a college, you must follow their enrolment processes.

Alternatively students can print a copy of the Application for Year 11 Placement form PDF File (228kb) and submit to Director of Schools Southern Canberra GPO Box 158 Canberra ACT 2601.

All students who live in the ACT or surrounding regions of NSW may apply for placement in an ACT public college.

What information will you need to complete your application?

  • Your student ID number (if you are currently studying at an ACT government high school)
  • Your residential address. This needs to be the same as that recorded on the ACT Government high schools database, or for students currently at a non-government school, the White Pages telephone directory. Alternatively,

  • Your parent or guardian's address, if this is not the same as your address.

The application should take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete.
