Dilworth School Senior Campus

Application Process

Applications for Dilworth School are open between February and July each year for entry at the beginning of the following academic year.

Each year there are places available for Year 7 and 8 students at the Junior Campus and Year 9 to Year 12 at the Senior Campus.

Our admissions process covers several stages:

Submitting the application

The first step is completing an application form in the calendar year before the intended start date.

You are strongly encouraged to submit your application as soon as possible, rather than waiting until near the closing date.

No late applications are accepted. Applications will not be considered if submitted without the required documentation.

Admissions process

You will receive an acknowledgement that your application has been received via email.

If the application is to proceed past the initial stage, your nominated referees will be contacted in writing and your young man’s current school will be contacted. Once these reports are received, the application is reviewed again.

If the application is to proceed to the next stage, both you and your young man will be invited to attend an initial interview with the Head of Admissions. These applications will then be considered for shortlisting.

Shortlisted candidates will spend a day at the relevant Dilworth campus. The day will include a tour, academic testing and some team-building exercises.

Shortly after, there will be a final interview for the candidate and applicant with a Trustee of the Dilworth Trust Board and the Headmaster or the Head of Campus.

Apply Online

Securing a life-changing scholarship for your young man could be one of the best decisions you ever made. It starts by filling in an online application form.

Applications

Before completing your application please make sure you have read and familiarised yourself with the admissions criteria and admissions process.

If you have any questions about the admissions process, please phone the Admissions Co-ordinator on 09 523 4887, or email admissions@dilworth.org.nz

We strongly recommend that you start the process as soon as possible. You can start the application form and save it for completion at a later date.

Documents you will need ready to attach as part of the application form:

• Your young man’s birth certificate.
• Your young man’s Immunisation Status from his GP (see bottom of page for example).
• School reports. Both mid and end-of-year school reports are required.
• Summary of your income from the previous tax year (ending March) retrieved from MyIR.
