Enrolment Process

Applying to A.B. Paterson College

Enrolment Interview and Screening/Testing

For Years 1 – 12, enrolment testing and an interview with the Principal (or nominated delegate), are usually conducted in the twelve months prior to the desired year of entry into the College. This will vary depending upon year level, availability of places and your own personal circumstances. For all student interviews, the student should be accompanied by both parents, if possible.

For Prep enrolments, screening and interviews are conducted 18 months prior to entry.

Following interview and testing/screening, an offer of place may be made at the complete discretion of the Principal (or nominated delegate).

Enrolment offer and acceptance

Should an offer of a place be made, parents must formally indicate acceptance within the set time frame by completing the Contract of Enrolment form and paying the non-refundable Acceptance Fee ($1,100 per student). A non-refundable Foundation Levy ($150 per student) is also payable on acceptance of enrolment at the College.

Upon formal acceptance of an offer of a place, parents undertake to support the rules, regulations and programs of the College, as will be determined from time to time, and are responsible for the payment of all fees and charges.

The College observes its obligations under law in its Admissions Policy. An offer of a place requires that the College is satisfied that the student has the ability to benefit from the College’s programs and that there is a reasonable gender balance at each year level.
