ENROLMENT PROCESS:

Thank you for your interest in enrolling into Year 9 at Hagley College for 2027.

1. Completed enrolment applications must be received by the College before the closing date.

We also ask you to provide us with the following attachments as part of the enrolment:

A copy of the student’s birth certificate or passport
Their most recent school report – this is likely to be from end of year 2025. Ideally, we are looking for a full school report that includes curriculum levels in reading, writing and maths, and a teacher comment about effort and engagement in the classroom.
If your child has been diagnosed with any learning conditions, please include the reports for these. This helps us to know your child better on paper, and will assist us to plan ahead for any support or extension needs.

Providing these documents will strengthen your application. Please note that not supplying them may cause delays.

We will also contact each student’s current school with a Confidential Information Form to add to your application.

2. Our Enrolment Committee will look at your application and decide whether you meet our Designated Character School Criteria. Depending on enrolment numbers, we may need to have a ballot to allocate places. If this is necessary, the ballot will be drawn in the week of 3 – 7 August 2026.

3. Acceptance notifications will be sent out directly following the ballot. You will receive a letter confirming if you have been accepted and we will ask you to return an acceptance slip.

4. We will contact you about the next steps in your enrolment. This will include an enrolment interview where you will have a chance to discuss your child’s learning, and for us to get to know one another ahead of next year.

5. If you have been accepted into the Junior College we hold an Orientation in November for all new Year 9 students and their parents/caregivers. You will meet your form tutor and classmates, and learn about the Junior College ready for next year.

DESIGNATED CHARACTER CRITERIA:

Places will only be offered to those applicants who meet or have the potential to meet, the designated character requirements. On offer of enrolment, the applicant family is required to sign the ‘Confirmation of Enrolment’ form to confirm their acceptance, and affirm their understanding and support of the College’s designated character.
