Virtual Tour
Dear Parents/Guardians and Prospective Year 7 Students,
During 2020 due to the COVID-19 situation, our face to face tours and Information Evening were unable to be continued as planned.
We acknowledge this is a very important and challenging time in your decision making for choosing a secondary school for your child. We believe it is important that you look holistically at schools to see which one will meet the needs of your child.
We believe that Viewbank College offers the right blend of academic focus, of wellbeing support and it being a community that welcomes and caters for all.
Please see below our Virtual Tour of Viewbank College, we hope you enjoy and see all the wonderful opportunities that Viewbank College can provide for your child.

Enrolment Policy and Process
The College has experienced an increased demand for places in Year 7 but also in all other levels due to exceptional, unabated and unprecedented growth in its school population over the past five years. Viewbank College has an enrolment cap; therefore permanent residency in the immediate vicinity where the College is the closest school is the main consideration.
