Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Online applications are completed through the Online Application Form and your child's name is placed on a waitlist for the year level you request. Applications are accepted online only via the Application for Enrolment page; a non-refundable application fee of $250 applies. Progressing your child's application involves receiving an email asking you to confirm interest as the entry year approaches. An interview with a senior staff member may form part of the offer process. Offers for Year 7 begin in Year 4 (three years before entry); other year levels are offered about 12 months prior to commencement. Entry into ELC requires full immunisation. To confirm an offer, families pay a non-refundable enrolment fee of $3,200.
Your child's name is placed on the waitlist for the requested year level after submitting the online application. Position on the waitlist is based on the date of the application, and an application does not guarantee admission. Applications are processed and assigned a waitlist status; offers are made when places become available, sometimes months after initial submission. You can change your preferred year or campus by contacting the Admissions Team; you may transfer between waitlists without paying the application fee again.
