1. Step 1 - Your Application: Complete an Application Form for 2026 or 2027 enrolment. After submission, the admissions team reviews the application and contacts you with the outcome. To express interest for 2028 and beyond, submit an Expression of Interest and the admissions team will contact you when applications open. For 2028 and beyond, use the Expression of Interest form; for 2026/2027 enrolment, use the Domestic application or International application forms. 2. Step 2 - Family Interview: After the application is processed, the family may be invited to meet with a member of the Senior Leadership Team to discuss the child and what they hope to contribute to the school community; a positive attitude is valued. If Open Days have not been attended, a private student-led campus tour can be arranged at this time. 3. Step 3 - Application Offer: Successful applicants receive a written letter of offer by email with further documentation required to accept the offer. 4. Step 4 - Application Acceptance: After the completed documents are submitted and the acceptance fee is paid, the child's place at St. Peter's is confirmed.
Eligibility: Scholarships are awarded to new students who demonstrate service and leadership which will contribute positively to St. Peter's school community and would not otherwise be able to afford a St. Peter's education. Leadership and service can be demonstrated through the categories of Sport, the Arts, Culture or Academic Ability. Scholarship awards are up to 75% of fees per annum but will be based upon the applicant's expertise and the financial situation of the family. Priority will be given in all categories to families with genuine financial need. How to apply: Applications for 2027 Scholarships are now open. Please apply via the Scholarship applications link. To be considered for a scholarship, families must also complete an Application to Enrol for new students commencing their study at St. Peter's in 2027. The annual scholarship application process is open and will close at the end of Term 1; families will be notified of the outcome before the end of Term 2. Scholarship Timeline: Monday 12 January 2026 — Scholarship applications open; Wednesday 15 April 2026 — Scholarship applications close; Tuesday 2 June 2026 — Outcomes communicated to families.
