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.
1. Enquiry (Initial Contact)
Begin by reaching out to the school through its online enquiry form, email, or phone. This step allows you to request further information or arrange a visit. The school typically responds within one business day.
2. Tour or Virtual Visit
Families are encouraged to visit the campus (either in person or virtually) to see the facilities and meet staff. This helps parents and students understand the school’s environment and approach.
3. Application and Document Submission
After deciding to apply, you must complete the online application form and provide supporting documents—such as a copy of your child’s passport or birth certificate, school reports, and visa copies if applicable.
4. Assessment and/or Interview
Students applying to the High School (Years 7–13) are invited for an age-appropriate academic assessment and, if necessary, an English-language evaluation. This helps the school understand the student’s learning profile and whether any support may be needed.
5. Offer and Acceptance
If the application is successful, the family receives a written offer (usually within a few days). To confirm the place, parents must pay the application and enrolment fees by the stated deadline, typically within two weeks.
6. Transition and Start of School
After acceptance, the student is invited to attend a transition or induction day to meet teachers and classmates. Administrative matters such as uniforms, transport, and schedules are finalised at this stage.
The publicly available information on the school does not clearly state a formal waitlist or “pool” system for admissions.
