How to Apply

If at any time you have questions about your enrolment application, please don't hesitate to speak to our Registrar. Our enrolment process from first enquiry to acceptance of a place is entirely online.

You can access and keep track of all information about the progress of your application through your Parent Dashboard, which is created when you first make an enquiry about our School, or start an application for enrolment.

Step 1: Submit an application

Our main entry years are Prep (aged 3 or 4), Kindergarten and Year 7. Places in other years may be available and are offered as vacancies arise. Please note that due to demand for places, the submission of an enrolment application should not be considered a guarantee of a place at the School. A non-refundable administration fee of $50 applies to each application.

Prior to submitting your application, you should:

  • Read the Conditions of Enrolment and Statement of Faith
  • Book a tour of the School, where you can see us in action!

Step 2: Come for an interview

Parents enrolling their first child at the school will be interviewed by the Principal. The purpose of the interview is to give parents an opportunity to find out more about the School, its philosophy of education and its organisational structure. Children are not required to attend the interview.

Step 3: Student assessment

If required, a student assessment is undertaken at the School using standardised tests. A non-refundable fee of $100 is payable at the time of assessment.

The purpose of the assessment is to determine what, if any, adjustments need to be made to support your child's enrolment. In exceptional circumstances an assessment may affect the offer of enrolment. In this situation, an opportunity to meet with the Principal to discuss the assessment would be provided.

Step 4: Letter of offer

Offers for available places are made following interviews and assessments. Families have 14 days to accept an open offer after it is made. A $500 acceptance fee is payable per family upon acceptance of the offer. This fee is refundable upon the last sibling leaving the School, subject to finalisation of the school fee account.

Your enrolment, once accepted, will be confirmed by the School in writing. We will keep you informed of Orientation events and provide you with relevant information prior to the commencement of your time with us.
