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.
Step 1: Enrolment Information. Enquiries regarding enrolment are handled by the Enrolments team. Launceston Grammar is an open entry school, but an Enrolment Application does not guarantee a place and some grades may have waiting lists. Places may be limited, so begin the enrolment process early.
Step 2: School Tour. Consider attending a Junior or Senior Campus tour to familiarise yourself with the facilities, meet staff, and learn more about enrolment opportunities. Tours provide insights into the school program and expectations for new families.
Step 3: Application. To apply, complete the online application form. An Enrolment Application does not guarantee a place and places may be limited, so start early. When applying, provide: a copy of birth certificate/passport; a copy of the latest school report (if applicable); payment of a non-refundable $110 application fee; if applicable, a copy of visa grant notice and passport; AEAS test results for international student applicants.
Step 4: Enrolment Interviews. Before a place is offered, an interview is required. Interviews are conducted by senior staff at the relevant campus. The interview enables a fuller understanding of the child, the school program, and enrolment expectations.
Step 5: Offer to Enrol. Based on the interview, the Principal issues a Letter of Offer confirming enrolment. You will have 14 days to accept or decline the offer.
Step 6: Acceptance of Offer. To accept, complete the Acceptance of Offer and any additional enrolment documentation via the online portal. Once documentation is received and processed, an email confirms the child's enrolment status at Launceston Grammar.
Step 7: Welcome. Whether enrolment starts at the beginning of Term 1 or mid-year, enrolments and wellbeing staff provide a smooth transition for the child.
Some grades have a waiting list and places are limited. Beginning the enrolment process early helps families secure a place when possible.
