Queenwood School for Girls

1. Submit the application and join the waiting list. Applicants are added to the waiting list in order of application date; for Kindergarten, priority is given to the time elapsed between birth and application; priority is also given to siblings of current Queenwood students, daughters of Queenwood Old Girls, siblings enrolling together, and applicants related to Queenwood Old Girls. Following receipt of the Application Form and accompanying fee, the daughter is added to the waiting list.

2. Attend an introductory event or tour. Families are encouraged to submit an application prior to attending an Introductory Day, and may register their intent to attend a Tour or Introductory Day via the website.

3. Prepare for and participate in the interview. Parents and the daughter are invited to an interview; prior to the interview, an Interview Request Form and accompanying paperwork including recent school reports should be submitted. Both parents are expected to attend the interview together with the prospective student, and interview discussions address expectations, aspirations and concerns.

4. Receive and consider an offer. Following a successful interview, a place may be offered. Usual entry points are Kindergarten, Year 3, Year 5 and Year 7, with other offers possible at the Principal's discretion if places are available. To accept, the paperwork accompanying the written offer must be returned, the Conditions of Enrolment signed, and the Acceptance Fee paid; enrolment is confirmed after these steps. Deferred entry cannot be offered due to demand.

5. Overseas applicants and placements. If a family is transferring from overseas, a visit to the School can be arranged followed by an interview, with places offered only if vacancies exist in the appropriate year.

6. Entry points and progression. Junior School entry points are Kindergarten, Year 3 and Year 5; interviews and offers for Kindergarten are usually made soon after application. Prospective students for other years are placed on the waiting list and offered a place if a vacancy arises. Senior School offers are made on the basis of reports and interview outcomes, with interviews possible up to two years before commencement; there is automatic progression from Junior School to Year 7.

7. Mid-year enrolment. Enrolment during the school year is possible if vacancies are available and a confirmed place is offered in writing; starting at the beginning of a school term is preferable.

8. Fees and payments. The 2026 fee schedule lists annual tuition by year level; an application fee of 300 AUD is non-refundable, and an acceptance fee of 4000 AUD is non-refundable. If sisters are enrolled at the same time, a 50% discount applies to the second and subsequent acceptance fees. Enrolment is confirmed after receipt of the applicable fees and paperwork.

9. Contacts for enquiries. For further information, contact the Admissions Office via the listed emails and phone numbers.

Queenwood offers academic, all-rounder, and music scholarships as well as means-tested bursaries. The application process opens in October each year with testing the following February, and applications are welcome from both current Queenwood students and new applicants. Scholarships can be applied for via the Academic Assessment Services (AAS) scholarship portal. Academic Scholarships require an online application with NAPLAN results and the most recent Academic School Report, an academic examination, and shortlisted candidates are interviewed by a senior member of the academic team; current Queenwood Year 6 students are eligible. Music Scholarships involve auditions and an interview process, with eligibility for Year 7, Year 10 and Year 11 entries. All-Rounder Scholarships require evidence across multiple strengths (e.g., sport, leadership, arts, languages) and include an academic examination plus an interview for shortlisted candidates. The Grace Lawrance Bursary is means-tested, covers tuition fees, and requires financial assessment; hardship assistance is also available for current students. Applicants must provide the required documentation (NAPLAN results, Academic School Report, etc.) and may be shortlisted for interview. Applications can be made using the AAS portal.
