The Victorian government has issued guidelines for partial school enrolment by registered home educated students. This formalises an arrangement whereby home educating families negotiate partial enrolment with a school in order to access certain subjects.

Families who wish to pursue partial enrolment need to contact the principal of their neighbourhood school to discuss a workable arrangement but principals have the right to decline the application if they have reasonable grounds – e.g. a cap on numbers in the class you are applying for. It is recommended that any interested families read the full guidelines before approaching the school. The guidelines and FAQ are now online on the DET website

 It is also possible to enrol in a school other than your neighbourhood one at the discretion of the relevant principal.
