The school has an age-based admissions process with varying assessment requirements by year. Kindergarten admission is based on age eligibility (over 2 years 6 months) and the ability to participate independently in daily routines; no formal assessments are required. Pre-Reception and Reception admissions are guided by age eligibility with no formal admissions assessment. Primary School admissions: Year 1 are by age eligibility with no formal assessment; Year 2 requires an informal interview and a cognitive entrance assessment (CAT4). Years 3 to 6 require an informal interview, a short written assessment, and CAT4. Secondary School admissions: Years 7–10 include an informal interview and CAT4; Year 10 applicants may also need additional subject-specific assessments; Year 12 requires formal written examinations in the subjects to be studied, plus an interview and CAT4. For all Primary School applicants, the required documentation includes copies of recent school reports and a reference letter from the current school; for all Secondary School applicants, the same documents apply. The admissions process also includes submitting an Enquiry Form and, when ready to apply, an Application Form with all required documents.
