• Last two (2) school reports and NAPLAN results if your child is currently in Year 4, 5 or 6. Reports are not required for younger children.

  or
  If your child was born outside of Australia, please provide either a copy of their current Visa Grant notice, Australian passport, or Australian Citizenship certificate.

An Application Fee of $50 per student applies and can be paid via the College’s website, by phone or in person at the College. This fee is non-refundable and non-transferrable. Only once the College has received the completed application, all required supporting documents and payment of the application fee, will the application progress to the next stage.

Please note that the acceptance of an application does not guarantee an enrolment interview or subsequent offer of enrolment.

Other important points to note:

• Children born in Australia are not automatically Australian citizens unless at least one parent is an Australian citizen or permanent resident at the time of the child’s birth. If both parents were born outside of Australia further evidence of citizenship is required.
• The Public Health Act 2016 requires parents to provide a copy of the child’s current immunisation status to the school and the only acceptable documentation is an Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) immunisation history statement no more than two months old or a valid immunisation certificate issued or declared by the Chief Health Officer. Photocopies of childhood immunisation books are not acceptable. Refer to Immunisation Requirements for more information.

The student and family will be invited to meet with a member of the College’s Executive Team for an interview.

Interviews for the main intake of Year 7 students will be held in Semester 1, when your child is in Year 5.

Following a successful interview, the student and family are sent a Letter of Offer.

Letters of Offer for the main intake of future Year 7 students will be finalised by the end of Semester 1, when students are in Year 5.

To accept your child’s place at Mater Dei College, the Confirmation of Enrolment form needs to be completed and signed by parents then returned to the College by the nominated date. A non-refundable and non-transferable deposit of $600 is required at the time of acceptance. The $600 will be deducted from your child’s first Fee Account when they commence at the College.

When your child is in Year 6, in Term 4 we invite all Year 6 students with a confirmed enrolment to an Orientation Day, with a Parent Information session held that evening. The aim of the Orientation Day is to help with the transition from primary school to high school, alleviate any anxiety students may have, as well as start building new friendships.

All families with confirmed enrolments for that year group will be contacted by email with the details.

Academic, Music and Sporting scholarship applications are called for at the start of the year your child is in Year 6. All scholarship testing is held in the first semester with scholarships awarded by the end of Term 2. Please refer to our Scholarship page for further details.
