Enrolment Documents Required
- One Enrolment Application form for each child.
- One Pastor’s Reference for each family.

Enrolment Interview
Upon receipt of the above documents, each family is contacted in order to organise an Enrolment Interview with the Principal.
Interviews are held approximately each fortnight over an afternoon and evening, although morning interviews are available on some days. Interviews usually take 30-45 minutes.
Please bring your children to the interview (if possible) – the Principal prefers to meet each child for whom an application is made.
Letter of Offer / Acceptance
Following the Enrolment Interview, parents/carers will be advised of one of the following –
- Child meets the enrolment criteria, a position is available and an offer of enrolment is made.
- These families are asked to sign an Acceptance Form and to pay a non-refundable Enrolment Acceptance Fee of $850 within approximately 3-4 weeks of the letter of offer. This is only paid when a new family starts at the College.
- Child meets the enrolment criteria but at the time of interview there is no position available in the grade/year applied for. The child is then placed in a “waiting pool” and offered a place as soon as one becomes available.
- Child does not meet the enrolment criteria and are advised in writing that they will not be offered a position.
