Australian Students
The decision you make in choosing a school for your child is an important one that takes time and requires careful consideration of the opportunities a particular school may provide for your child.
To assist you in making this decision, we will provide you with printed and multimedia information about St Paul's and we welcome the opportunity to show parents and prospective students our school in action. We invite you to make an appointment to tour the campus and see first hand the extensive range of facilities and programs we can offer your child at St Paul's Grammar School.
To request an Enrolment Information Pack please email giving your name, postal address and details of your child(ren).
To arrange a tour of the school please contact the Development Office on (02) 47774888 to arrange a convenient time.
Should you decide to proceed with applying for enrolment, the following process is followed:
- Apply for Enrolment Registration: This places your child's name on our waiting list and may be carried out at any time from birth. Registration will note the requested year level and date of entry. Please note that children starting in Pre-Kindergarten should turn four by the end of May in the year of commencement. While registered on our waiting list, you will receive copies of our magazine Futurum and will also receive invitations to major school events. There is a non-refundable enrolment registration fee of $150 for each child. Approximately 12 to 18 months prior to the requested date of commencement for your child, you will be contacted by the Development Office to undertake the remainder of the process.
- Submit an Enrolment Application Update: A more comprehensive application form is completed at this stage and further documentation requested, such as immunisation certificates, pre-school or school reports and references. If a scholarship is being sought, the appropriate applications are also made at this stage.
- Scholarship Testing: Applicants for scholarships at certain Year levels will sit scholarship tests as will applicants for extension classes. Please note that all children entering Year 7 sit for these tests.
- Enrolment Interview: The child and parents will attend an enrolment interview with a senior member of the school executive during the year prior to commencement. Not all applicants will necessarily be invited for an interview, depending on the number of children on the waiting list. Scholarship applicants may also be interviewed by the principal.
- Offers of Places (and scholarships): Offers of places are made as a result of a successful interview. Offers of scholarships are made at the discretion of the principal. If an offer of a place is accepted by parents, the necessary forms are returned to the school along with a $1000 deposit (per family). If an offer is not made at this time, a child's name may remain on the waiting list for a future vacancy.
