Academic Scholarships

Selection Criteria

Academic Scholarships are awarded based on performance in the Scholarship Examination. Consideration is given to academic achievement and possible contribution to the life of the School.

Application Process

• You can apply for a Scholarship online via the buttons below. Only online registrations are accepted.
• Payment of $145 is required at the time of registration.
• During the online application process, students will need to answer, in their own words, questions about their school experience.

Applicants for a Year 7 Academic Scholarship are automatically eligible to apply for a Year 7 Music Scholarship and/or a Year 7 All Rounder Scholarship, and are not required to pay an additional application fee.

Applicants for a Year 10 Academic Scholarship are automatically eligible to apply for a Year 10 Music Scholarship and/or a Year 10 All Rounder Scholarship, and are not required to pay an additional application fee.

Applications close: Thursday 11 February 2027

Examination: Sunday 21 February 2027

Students who wish to apply for an Academic Scholarship must sit for the Scholarship Examination.

The Scholarship Examination is an online exam administered by Academic Assessment Services that will be sat in the child’s home. It is not possible to sit the test on another day, so please make sure that your child is available to sit the test on the day before applying.

Scholarship Interviews

After the results of the Scholarship Examination are available, students who have been placed on the shortlist will be asked to attend an interview at the school.

Scholarship interviews are conducted at the end of Term 1 2027. If students are not available during this time to attend an interview, unfortunately, they will not be considered for a scholarship as this may delay the selection and offer process. Applicants should ensure they have no conflicting commitments during this time.

Value of Scholarships

Scholarships cover remission of tuition fees only. Additional costs such as uniform items, computer notebook, textbooks, excursions and consolidated charges are not included. The value of each Scholarship may vary depending on the calibre of the candidate and may cover 100% or a portion of tuition fees.

The School reserves the right to withhold a Scholarship (in any year) if there are no candidates of sufficient merit.

All Scholarships are subject to annual review, but are normally tenable for the length of the recipient’s education at the School, subject to continuing satisfactory progress, performance and attitude.

Notification of Offer of Scholarship

A letter indicating whether the applicant has been successful or otherwise will be sent to the parents/guardian by the end of Term 1, 2027. The School does not provide feedback to parents on any aspect of the scholarship process.

This includes the applicant’s performance in the scholarship examination, music aptitude test, music audition or any interview. Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the School and the School’s decision is final.

A non-refundable $1,500 Scholarship Entrance Fee will become payable on acceptance of an offer of a Scholarship (means-tested scholarship recipients are exempt).

Students are shortlisted after the interview process. This list is kept active for 12 months from the date of the Scholarship Examination.
