Procedure for Prep Enrolment

Parents wishing to enrol their child at St. Peter’s should complete an Application Form. A non-refundable administration fee is payable on submission of the form as a sign of commitment. This deposit is then deducted from the school fees. An appointment will be made for an interview with the Principal.

Once the enrolment is confirmed, parents of students will be invited to an Information Evening at which all relevant details will be given.
In addition to the Information Evening, it is usual practice for newly enrolled students of Prep classes to attend two orientation sessions.

Enrolment for all other Year Levels

Enrolments into other classes will be accepted at any time during the year conditional on our enrolment policy and the availability of places.
Please contact the school on 9337 4111 for any queries about the enrolment procedures.
