Admissions
Lauriston Girls' School is non-selective with open entry from 3-year-old Kindergarten to Year 12. Main entry points are 3-year-old and 4-year-old Kindergarten, Prep, Year 5, Year 7 and Year 10, with occasional vacancies in other year levels. Applications can be submitted for immediate commencement, and the admissions team will contact families if a position is available. Families are encouraged to place their child's name on the waitlist by submitting an Application for Admission. An application is not a guarantee of enrolment. Step 2: Pre-enrolment Documentation involves completing the Enrolment Profile (parents/guardians) and Student Profile (student) and submitting supporting documents such as two most recent school reports (translations on letterhead if not in English), NAPLAN results if applicable, an Immunisation History Statement (Kindergarten only), external reports, medical reports, and any court orders relevant to custody or living arrangements. Completion of the Enrolment Profile and Student Profile is not a guarantee of enrolment. Step 3: Interview invites prospective students and their parents to an enrolment interview (which could be up to 36 months before commencement). The interview is conducted by a senior member of staff and aims to determine fit for Lauriston. A tour of the School is encouraged prior to the interview. Attending an interview is not a guarantee of enrolment. Step 4: Offer of Enrolment occurs if Lauriston can meet the student's educational needs; to accept, families complete an Acceptance of Offer of Enrolment and pay the relevant fees by the due date. Confirmation of enrolment is issued only after all documentation and fees are received. Step 5: Transition and Orientation introduces the Transition & Orientation Program for new students. Step 6: Enrolment Policies instruct families to read the enrolment policies.
Admissions
1. Main intake points are Prep, Year 5 and Year 7, with a minor intake in Year 3. Places may be available at other year levels from time to time. Enrolment begins when an online application is completed and the $100 application fee is received. 2. Apply online via the Application Portal; the process is straightforward and takes about 5–10 minutes. After submission, the student is placed on the waiting list. 3. Applications submitted fewer than three years before entry require contact with Admissions to discuss the enrolment timeline and options. 4. Approximately three years before the nominated entry year, the College contacts families to confirm intention to enrol and to collect additional information such as school reports and an official Immunisation History Statement if entering ELC or Junior School. 5. A formal offer of enrolment may be made; offers must be accepted by the due date or may be passed to other applicants. 6. Acceptance requires signing the Enrolment Agreement and paying the non-refundable Enrolment Fee. The first child is charged $1,250 and $1,000 for each additional child. 7. A Pre-commencement meeting with the relevant School leader supports the transition; every Year 7 entrant sits a General Ability Test (GAT) one to two years before entry. Approximately 18 months before commencement, a Tuition Fee in Advance of $3,500 per student is payable and credited against the second invoice. 8. Welcome and Orientation Day occurs before the first day, with accompanying parent information sessions. 9. For non-intake entry years, the process is the same but Admissions will be in touch one year before commencement to start enrolment; there is an informal interview with the relevant Head of School before a formal offer is made. 10. Kindle (ELC) entry: 2027 Entry Applications have closed; Kindle Applications close each December, 13 months prior to commencement. If applying for both Kindle and College, select Day Student (Kindle) to enable selection. The Toddler Room (18 months to 3 years) is not an intake year.

Waitlist
Waitlist
The school is non-selective with main entry points and occasional vacancies, and families are encouraged to join the waitlist by submitting an Application for Admission.
Waitlist
Yes, there is a waiting list for all applicants until enrolment begins. Applicants are placed on the waiting list based on the date the completed Application for Admission is received.

A family connection to the College gives students a two-year advantage on the waiting list (one year for Kindle applications).
