Year 7 Enrolments

Applications for Year 7 may be submitted in advance of the commencement year. In March of each year our college will be open for a Discovery Evening where families can tour the college and meet our student leaders and educators. Following this all enrolment applications will be reviewed and we invite families for interviews. Placements will be finalised by the end of Term 3 (or earlier).  If the demand for enrolment surpasses our current capacity, applications may be placed on a waitlist.

Please note: Applications received in Term 4 will be reviewed for a suitable commencement date. This may be our head start programme for the following year commencement. Head start programme is held during the last week/s of term 4 with all students moving up to the following year level.
