When will I hear if my child has been accepted?

Once interviews are conducted, the College will send out round 1 offers on 17th October 2025.

Applications that don’t receive an initial offer will receive an email asking if they would like to remain on the waitlist until a position becomes available.


If I receive an offer, what is required to confirm my child’s enrolment?

An enrolment offer pack will be emailed to successful families that will include all the necessary forms required. They are to be completed and returned to the College with a $500 deposit for 2027 school fees. All enrolment offers are given 3 weeks to be completed. Once the forms and deposit are received, your child’s enrolment at the College is confirmed.

Does the College offer any scholarships or accelerated learning programs?
