Enrolment Process

To ensure St Hilda’s is the right fit for your family we encourage you to visit the school.

We invite you and your child to join us on a tour to explore our campuses and meet some of the people that bring them to life.

Registration is an expression of interest in St Hilda’s and not a formal commitment. The easy to complete registration form ensures your child will be placed on a register for enrolment in the class and calendar year of your choice. Completion of the registration form does not guarantee your child a place.

Registrations are processed on a date-received basis. The earlier you register your daughter or son the greater the probability of receiving the offer of a place. Preference is given to siblings of current and future confirmed students and to daughters of Old Scholars. Registrations are then processed in date order.

The registration fee is AUD $150 per student which can be paid by money order, bank transfer, credit card or telegraphic transfer. The School requires a copy of your child’s birth certificate and, if applicable, copies of her passport photo page and her student visa/citizenship. We require both parents to sign the registration form. The School will send an acknowledgement of your registration.

Subject to availability, the School will extend an offer of a place three years before Year 7 intake, two years prior for Year 5 intake and all other years 12 months prior to your child’s commencement date. At this time we will request payment of a confirming fee. Once the confirming fee has been received, your child’s place at St Hilda’s in the year offered is guaranteed. The confirming fee is a one-off payment that is in addition to your tuition fees. It is not refundable or transferable.

Information for your child’s entry year will be sent to you in the July before entry. Before your child starts his or her first day at St Hilda’s, you are required to complete a number of forms such as medical history and parental consent. The Enrolments Office can guide you through the paperwork and provide other relevant information. You will be given details of the orientation process which will help your child adapt to their new school.

1. St Hilda’s offers places 3 years prior to entry for Year 7, Two years prior for Year 5 and 12 months prior for all other year groups. The year group is usually full after this time period. For enrolments within three years of commencement, these stages are accelerated.
2. We encourage you to place your child on a waiting list for your preferred year of entry, even if it is currently full.
3. Casual vacancies do arise, often just before the start of the school year due to unexpected work transfers.
4. Please note: registering your daughter on the waiting list is not a guarantee of an offer of a place.
