Tour the school
If possible, visit the school and get a feel for the atmosphere at the school, speak to students, parents, volunteers, or alumni, if available. Ask your questions and get an understanding of what is at the heart of the school. A personal visit might help you choose between a few schools you have on your list.
Review fees and tuition costs. There are a few ways to reduce the cost of private schooling, so ask the Enrolments staff about family or sibling discounts, and bursaries or scholarships.
Submit an application
Research the supporting documents that the school requires as failing to provide these, the application will be considered incomplete. Supporting documents will often include Academic Reports, NAPLAN results, Birth Certificate, Pastor’s Reference, Medical Reports, Court Orders. Usually the application will incur an application fee.
Attend an interview
The purpose of the interview is for the parents and student to meet the school leadership, discuss the application, discuss the school and student expectations, and have the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions. Depending on year level, some schools require exams or test to be completed in order to assess the student’s current academic position.
Receive a Letter of Offer
In most cases, if your application and interview are successful, you will receive a Letter of Offer congratulating you on your place within the school, and providing instructions on how to proceed. A returned signed copy of the Contract is expected before your enrolment is considered complete.
