Step 3: Formal Enrolment Application & Documentation

Step 4: Interview and Observation
At this stage, we schedule an online interview with you to discuss your family’s specific needs within the schooling environment.
You will be sent a questionnaire to complete prior to your interview appointment.
Following your interview, if your application is progressed, we will contact your child’s current education and/or therapy providers for additional data gathering.
Your child will also be required to attend the College for an observational visit. Our team will support your child to participate in activities to identify their suitability. This will inform the final outcome for your application.
Step 5: Enrolment
If your application is successful, you will receive an official letter of offer from the Enrolments Team. All enrolments are offered based on suitability and vacancies.
