From initial contact, whether by visit, phone or letter, the Prospectus and Application for Enrolment (one/family), if requested, will be sent. If parents wish to initiate an application for enrolment a non-refundable amount of $40.00 will cover the first child, with a further $20.00 each for younger sibling. An interview will then be arranged where both parents (where possible) and the student/s will meet with the Principal and a Board Member. The mission, principles and structure of the College will be shared, and parents will be asked to share their commitment to Christ, their commitment to the body of Christ, and how they are exercising their teaching of the ways of Christ in their home. Parents will be notified in writing of the acceptance or rejection of the application upon recommendation of the College Company. If the parents believe this College to be right for their children, an Enrolment Form (one for each child) should be completed and returned to the College, together with the Conditions of Enrolment Form, Correction/Corporal Punishment Form, Teacher Indemnity Release Form, Birth Certificate or Extract Copies and Reference from current or recent pastor/church representative. The College will accept enrolments from homes where: - the parents, guardians or care-givers (hereafter referred to as parents) understand and are committed to the College's philosophy of education and its implications for the education of their children;
- at least one parent is a Christian who accepts, or after a Christianity Explained introduction course is able to accept, at least in theory) the College's Confession of Faith as the basis for Christian living;
- the family accepts that the partnership between the College and home may include ministry to the whole family where it assists the child's welfare and growth in Christ.
We will not refuse to enrol a child: - on the grounds of race, creed, sex, intellectual or physical disabilities. However, the College may not have the expertise and resources to meet the paramount educational and emotional needs of all the children seeking enrolment;
- if the family is unable to pay full set fees. Finance will never be a barrier to Christian parents providing a Christian education for their children at our College. Instead, parents can involve themselves in programmes that help the College in other ways as their time and skills permit.
- Some Bursaries may be available from time to time.
