How to submit an online Expression of Interest for Year 7 - Parents
Steps for submitting an online Expression of Interest for Year 7
Moving to high school for Year 6 students EOI

- Parents will need to enter their child’s residential address
- Parents are reminded that they will have to provide proof that this is their child’s registered residential address
Local high school

- The local high school for that address will be displayed first. Note that some students may have more than one local high school
- Parents will need to confirm if the student has applied for placement at a selective high school and if they wish to apply for government schools other than their local school
Note: If a parent is not considering schools other than their child’s local school they will skip straight to the privacy agreement. They won’t need to add any other schools.

- Parents are then asked to agree to the standard privacy agreement, by ticking the box
- Then select 'proceed'
Signing-in

- Parents will need to sign-in using either their email address or their Service NSW details
- They will then need to enter the 6-digit verification code sent to their email address
Email

- Now that the parent has logged-in, they can commence filling in the details for the online EOI form.
If a parent has indicated they are only interested in their child attending their local high school, they will have just 3 sections: Student details; Parent/carer details; and Review & Submit.
- If the parent is expressing interest in any OoA schools, there will be an additional section/s to capture the Considerations for each OoA school.
OoA considerations - pilot high schools
If the parent is expressing interest in one of the high schools that are part of this pilot, there will be a list of consideration criteria.

- Once the box is ticked, the consideration expands to allow the parent to provide detail about why they should be considered.
These boxes have a character limit of 400 characters.
OoA considerations - non-pilot schools

- If the parent adds an OoA school that is not participating in the pilot, there will not be a list of consideration criteria. Instead there will just be a text box.
This is to align with the paper forms, so that when these high schools receive the pdf it will be similar experience for review.
This box will have a higher character limit of 1000 characters.
Review and submit

- The final step for parents is to review their answers and complete the tick-box declaration at the end.
If they were applying for OoA schools this would also be displayed in the review.
Confirmation and reference number

- Once the expression of interest is successfully submitted, a confirmation page with a reference number will display.
Confirmation email

- Parents will also receive a confirmation email
- If the student is only applying for their local school, this email will include:
A reference number for the EOI
- A password protected pdf copy of the EOI
- Next steps and information about the types of documents that will be required for the enrolment process.
Confirmation email expressing interest for OaA school/s

- A reference number for the EOI
- A list of the schools that have been nominated, in order of preference
- A password protected pdf copy of the EOI
- Next steps about the OoA deliberation process
