Application Process
Admission is subject to the availability of places, satisfactory interview and assessment, the College’s capacity to provide an appropriate program for the child and acceptance of the College Terms of Business.
To be considered for entry at St Leonard’s College, families are required to complete an online Application for Enrolment and pay a $200 non-refundable application fee.
Upon receipt of the completed Application for Enrolment, your child’s name will be added to the waiting lists for the year(s) and at the year level(s) nominated.
Families seeking entry within six months (for commencement at the beginning of the following school year or part-way through a current school year) should contact the Admissions Office via email at [email protected] or phone +61 3 9909 9500 prior to submitting an Application for Enrolment
Families should ensure they have read and understood the College Terms of Business and the College Admissions Policy (available at the bottom of this page) prior to submitting an Application for Enrolment.
Entry Levels
The College welcomes applications for places in ELC3, ELC4, Prep, Years 5, 7, and 10. Limited places are also available in other year levels as they arise.
For the Early Learning Centre, applications for enrolment are ordered based on the period of time between the Application for Enrolment being received by the College and the date of the student’s birth. To be eligible for admission into the Early Learning Centre (ELC) at the beginning or during the school year, children must be three years of age by the end of January in the year of entry for ELC3. Entry directly into Prep following completion of ELC3 is not offered. Please note that under the State Government’s ‘No Jab, No Play’ legislation, the College is unable to provide enrolment into the Early Learning Centre without proof of up-to-date vaccinations.
Waitlist priority is given on the following basis, to children:
· of permanent staff members;
· who are siblings of enrolled students;
· of Old Collegians.
Selection
Some applicants (depending on places available) will be invited to attend an interview with the Head of the appropriate section of the College, which the parents or guardians and student attend. Current school reports and the results of any external education-related testing undertaken are required prior to interview.
The selection process for Years 5 and 7 commences two years or more in advance. Selection for all other year levels commences six to twelve months in advance. The College will continue to arrange enrolment interviews for each year level until such time as all places are offered and accepted.
If a place is available for your child, a formal offer will require payment of a non-refundable enrolment confirmation fee along with a signed acceptance of the College Terms of Business, and may require payment of an enrolment bond which is deducted from tuition fees following completion of a specified period of student attendance at the College.
Please refer to the College Admissions Policy (available at the bottom of this page) for further information about offer acceptance requirements.
