1. Application Process: Parents submit an Application Form to the Admissions Office, in person or online via Apply Now.

To register, submit the child's birth certificate, passport copies, and current/last school reports. 3. Conditional Offer and Acceptance: If a place is available, a conditional offer is issued after the assessment. Acceptance must be received within five days with signed documents and the required fees paid before joining. 4. Successful Enrolment: Upon enrolment, year-group information is provided. The student may attend an Orientation Day if starting at the year's start, or an enrolment meeting if starting mid-year. 5. Overseas Applications/Enrolment: Overseas applicants follow the same steps; entry assessment can occur at the current school with consent, and orientation or enrolment meetings may occur. 6.

Priority is to Category 1 (sibling or transferring international students), Category 2 (diplomatic visa holders), then Category 3 (other applicants).

Waiting Lists exist; priority to siblings or transferring international students.
