How to Enrol
Enrolment
Seaview High School is a co-educational, zoned state secondary school, focused on developing a community of learners that is inclusive of all students. Seaview staff prioritise developing a deep knowledge and understanding of our pupils and we offer a range of flexible academic programs, providing extension, acceleration and support.
Due to our continued growth we have limited places available for students living outside our school zone. Families living outside our school zone, seeking enrolment at Seaview High School in current high school year levels, will be directed to their zoned school or encouraged to remain at their current school.
If you have moved to our school zone and are looking to enrol, please contact the school and provide us with your proof of address by way of the following:
– recent gas or electricity bill in enrolling parent/s’ name and showing the supply address AND
– rental agreement covering at least 12 months or a contract of sale
Find your closest zoned and unzoned schools by using the Department for Education website.
Please contact Andie Hazelwood, Enrolments Officer, via email andie.hazelwood932@schools.sa.edu.au for all enrolment enquiries.
Primary School to High School Transition
Entry into high school follows the Department for Education transition process.
Early in Term 2 (of the child’s last year in primary school) families should receive a unique URL (or web address) by email or letter from their public primary school. This is for the online registration of interest to nominate the public secondary school you want your child to attend.
Students at non-government schools who want to apply for a public high school can get application information from their local public high school, local education office, or by emailing education.startingsecondaryschool@sa.gov.au.
See the starting preschool or school webpage for more information.
We offer limited places for out of zone students via our Special Interest Program Pathways. More information can be found below under ‘Out of Zone Entry Pathways’.
Once all primary school students have been allocated to their high school by the Department for Education, they will receive a high school enrolment package via email in Term 3 of their last year of primary school. Seaview High School offers a comprehensive transition program for primary school students joining us for high school. This includes identifying and developing any extra support systems the students may need. The transition program is provided to support students to familiarise themselves with the school, to make new friends and to meet current student leaders and staff. It is also how the school ensures all students have a smooth transition to high school.
The program provides opportunities for students to discover some of the many exciting things that Seaview High School offers, through engaging in a range of interactive activities and lessons.

Digital Learning
Seaview is an innovative, personalised and safe school that delivers relevant curriculum and promotes rigour, relationships and lifelong learning.
Rationale
The Digital Learning program for all students enables change in teaching practices to engage students with the curriculum. The program provides a vehicle for a personalised approach to learning, and supports a constructivist approach to creating curriculum.
In keeping with the National Educational Goals for Young Australians, we aim to promote and to lead world’s best practice for curriculum delivery and assessment and improve the educational outcomes for all students.
Student Devices
Current research suggests that the interactivity of tablets is ideally suited to Middle School students. Consequently, the Digital Learning Program includes the use of iPads in Middle School (Years 7 to 9), and a selection of preferred laptops for students in Senior School (Years 10 to 12). The program is Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program, which means the iPad and laptop are purchased by the parent/caregiver and belongs to the students from the outset. Seaview has identified a range of recommended devices that will best support quality teaching and learning, and has established purchasing portals with highly competitive prices.

Wellbeing Resources For Parents
Staff, parents and students work together to provide a safe, caring and supportive learning environment where all students have the right to achieve their best and teachers have the right to teach; the school nurtures and guides students to respect learning, to have compassion for others and to work to achieve their best.

Classroom agreements are developed between teachers and students, which include explicit behavioural expectations and negotiated consequences. Restorative Processes are a key strategy used to guide and develop positive behaviour. Harassment Grievance procedures are linked to the Behaviour Support Processes.
A Wellbeing for Learning & Life (WFLL) team; comprising of the Assistant Principal – Wellbeing, Student Counsellors, Youth Worker and Year Level Managers works collaboratively to provide support to staff in their work with students.
An Aboriginal Education Teacher and Aboriginal Secondary Education Transition Worker provide further support. The WFLL team liaises with staff, families and outside agencies.
