Enrolment FAQs

How early should I apply? Is there a cut-off date?

It is never too early to apply for your daughter's enrolment. We recommend submitting your application as soon as possible to avoid being placed on a waiting list for your preferred year. 

Can I change my application after I have lodged it? 

If you have applied and wish to change your daughter’s start year to an earlier or later entry, please contact the school as soon as possible. We can then adjust the application accordingly.

When will my daughter be interviewed for enrolment? 

• Reception: Interviews take place up to 18 months before commencement.
• Years 7: Interviews take place up to 24 months before commencement.
• Other year levels: Enrolment interviews are offered up to 18 months before the commencement date.

What transition programs are offered to new students? 

• Reception Students: Several transition visits are offered before commencing, which range from an initial 1-hour visit with parents to a full day without parents in the current reception class. This helps students get to know their teacher, environment, and classmates.
• Junior School (Year 1 - Year 6): A transition day is held for all students, featuring a variety of activities.
• Year 7: Parents are invited to a Parent Information Evening, and students are offered two transition days the year before they commence.
