You will require your child’s Year 3 School Reports (Semester 1 and 2), Year 3 NAPLAN and a copy of the birth certificate or Australian passport together with any other relevant documentation you may wish to attach.

Admission to the School is conditional upon the Principal’s discretion, being satisfied as to both the suitability of the applicant and the ability of the School to meet the applicant’s educational needs.
