Step 1: Submit an Application
Parents/caregivers are required to complete an online Application.
Applications must include:
– all required supporting documentation
Incomplete applications cannot be assessed.

Step 2: Evidence of Giftedness
As part of the application process, families are asked to provide supporting evidence of the child’s giftedness.
Where possible, applications should include at least one piece of evidence from each category below.
Cognitive Ability
Examples include:
– A score at or above the 97th percentile on a recognised intelligence test
– A psychologist’s report using recognised assessments (e.g. WISC, Stanford-Binet, Woodcock-Johnson)

Step 3: Panel Review
Applications are reviewed by an Enrolment Panel, comprising the Principal and a teacher.
If the application meets the selection criteria, families will be invited to the next stage.

Step 4: Interview
Parents/caregivers and the student attend an interview with the Enrolment Panel.
– Interviews typically run for 30–45 minutes
– Students are encouraged to bring a portfolio of work samples or additional documentation
Following the family interview, the student will take part in a short, informal one-on-one discussion with the Panel.
The principal may request additional information if required.

Step 5: Outcome Notification
Families will be notified in writing within 14 days of the interview as to whether an offer of enrolment has been made.

Step 6: Accepting an Offer
Successful applicants will receive:
– an Enrolment Form
– information regarding enrolment fees
Places are secured only once:
– all enrolment documentation is returned, and
– required enrolment fees are paid by the specified date
Failure to do so may result in the offer being withdrawn.
