Complete any paperwork
The first step is filling out the forms, which include:
- A form asking for your personal information such as name, email address, phone number, gender and date of birth
- A class preference form (here you choose the classes you would like to take)
- Details of the attendance requirement for each class
- A form asking your parent or guardian for their signature
- An emergency contact information form
Your advisor will discuss this with you further when it is time to fill out these forms.
Consult your parent or guardian
During this time, your parent or guardian might be able to visit your future classes with you and help you choose which classes suit your interests best. This way, when it is time for class enrolment, you can make a better decision about what classes to choose. If it's not possible for them to attend with you or if they have trouble making decisions about your classes, don't worry! You should receive a document with all of the information in case you or they need it. It may also be necessary for them to call the high school and schedule a time to meet with your tutors.
Familiarising yourself with the school and your new classes
On the day of enrolment, you will receive your timetable for the year and a class list telling you which teachers you have and what time their class starts. You will also be given a letter informing you which car park to use and where to line up for your class. The first few days of high school are all about familiarising yourself with these things! Be sure to ask questions if there is anything you don't understand so you can get used to it as soon as possible.
Finding out information such as timetables, location of lockers and other essential details can help make your transition into high school easier! For more information, you should make contact with your high school enrolment office. A member of the team will be happy to help you.
