Step 5: Requested documents (including the completed Enrolment Agreement), the confirmation fee and Alumni fee are required prior to the due date outlined in the offer in order to secure the placement.

Scholarships 2027: Scholarships are offered to students with a demonstrated high degree of excellence in their chosen area, combined with a high degree of personal commitment. The school offers limited Scholarships from Year 7 onwards to existing and prospective students. Scholarships are available in Academic Scholarships, General Excellence Scholarships (Leadership, Community Service, Excellence across a number of areas), Performing Arts Scholarships (Dance, Speech and Drama, Music), Creative Arts Scholarships (Media Arts, Visual Art), Sport Scholarships and Indigenous Scholarships. Each scholarship has a non-refundable application fee of $95. A Scholarship will normally be held from Years 7 to 9 or from Years 10 to 12. Year 7 to 9 scholarships will be reviewed at the commencement of Year 9, where students and parents may be asked to attend a scholarship review meeting. A letter outlining an offer of scholarship for Year 10 to 12 will be sent after the scholarship review has been completed. The College reserves the right to terminate the scholarship at any time in the event of gross or continued breaches of expectations, unwarranted decline in academic achievement or application, or persistent failure to support the College in its co-curricular program. Dependent on individual circumstances, a student can be successful in multiple scholarship areas with the scholarships running concurrently. All Scholarships are a remission of the tuition fee component of a student's school fees. The remission amount is determined by the Principal.
