Registration and Enrolment

Applications to Rundle College are accepted on an ongoing basis; however, it is strongly suggested that applications be made in the fall as spaces are limited in some grades. Rundle typically receives more applications than placements allow.

Timelines

Due to limited openings at Rundle College, we recommend that applications be completed before the deadlines indicated below so that your child is considered for all openings. We continue accepting applications throughout the year; however, openings are more limited as time goes on.
