The Department of Education and Training (DET) has determined the enrolment priorities for all government schools. Williamstown High School adheres to these priorities and enrolment positions will be offered according to the following:
- Students for whom Williamstown High School is the nearest neighbourhood school.
- Students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time.
- Students seeking enrolment on specific curriculum grounds.
- All other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.
- In exceptional circumstances, compassionate grounds
The permanent residential address is defined as where the student is living with their own family. It does not include staying with another relative, friend or a business address.
There are four Year 7 programs offered at Williamstown High School.
