Years 8 to 12
To register interest for enrolment in Years 8 to 12, families are welcome to call the school to complete an ‘Expression of Interest Enrolment Inquiry’ with the relevant Sub School (Junior, Middle, or Senior).
Enrolment enquiries will be considered based on the student’s permanent residential address. They will also depend on vacancies in the year level and subject availability.
You will be contacted by a Year Level Coordinator from the Junior, Middle or Senior School regarding availability of a place and the offer for an interview (parent/student/coordinator).
If a place is accepted an invitation to complete an Enrolment Form will be provided to finalise enrolment.
