Our main intake for our Junior School is three-year old kindergarten, and Year 7 in the Senior School. In these main intake years, all applicants are interviewed the year prior for a potential place in the College. Vacancies in other year levels become available when existing families leave the College. Our Admissions team will contact you if there is a potential vacancy for your child.

To be eligible for our three year old Kindergarten program, students must turn three by 30 April in that year.

For our main intake years (Year 7 and three-year-old Kindergarten), applications for a given year’s enrolment close in February the year prior.

Year 7 2023 – Applications close Monday 14 February 2022

The application will be processed and an email acknowledging receipt of your application is sent to your nominated email address.
Applicants for enrolment outside of our main intake years (three year old Kindergarten and Year 7) will be placed on our College waitlist. A member of our Admissions team will contact you when a relevant vacancy becomes available.
If you are contacted regarding a vacancy, if relevant our Admissions team will request your child’s academic reports and most recent NAPLAN results in order to discuss the potential vacancy with our Principal.
If the College Principal agrees to the potential vacancy, our Admissions team will contact you to make arrangements for an interview with a senior member of our College team.
Once interviewed, if successful, a letter of offer will be sent. To confirm the place, a non-refundable deposit must be paid to the College, which will be credited towards the student’s fee account upon commencement.

The current deposit fees are $250 for the three and four year old Kindergarten programs, and $500 for Foundation Year through to Year 12.

If you have any questions regarding your application, please do not hesitate to contact the College’s Marketing and Admissions Team on marketing@kardinia.vic.edu.au or phone (03) 5278 9999.
