Enrolment interviews
Students who are 17-years-old must have their parents/guardians with them to attend the enrolment interview with the deputy principal or head teacher.
Students who are between 18 and 26-years-old can have an enrolment interview on their own with the deputy principal or head teacher.
However, parents/guardians are most welcomed to attend the enrolment interview as well, if they wish to be part of it.
We ask that the students and families telephone the school on 02 9796 8138, Monday to Thursday between 8.15am and 3.45pm to make an appointment.
