The first step in the enrolment process is to complete our free secure online application form on our website (see link above). Alternatively, you can complete a paper based application form by attending our Enrolments Office.

Our main intake years are Kindergarten and Year 7. For all other years, a placement is dependant on an existing student leaving the school and creating a vacancy. If a vacancy becomes available, we contact families on the waitlist dependant on their application date with siblings of existing students having first preference.

We encourage families to stay in contact with us from time to time to see how their application is progressing. If a placement becomes available and your application is next on the list, we will be in contact with you. From time to time, we survey families on our waitlist. It is therefore important that your personal contact details are kept up to date.

We commence offering interviews for Year 7 when the student starts Year 5. We contact families based on their original date of application with siblings of existing students having first preference.

We commence the enrolment process for Kindergarten around 18 months prior to the child starting with us. Enrolment paperwork (birth certificate, visa/citizenship certificate and immunisation certificate) is requested and held until the child turns 3 and they are invited to attend an interview and tour. We contact families based on their original date of application with siblings of existing students having first preference.

College Tours can be booked on our website (see link above). A few days before the tour you will receive an RSVP reminder and other information. Our tours are a great way to meet our Principals, and hear about the many features of a Carey education as you tour our vibrant schools.

We currently have double stream (two classes) in each year group in the primary school with three streams (3 classes) in the secondary school from Year 7 in 2024.

Our Harrisdale and Forrestdale campuses offer similar yet uniquely different offerings for students whilst sharing the same Carey values and governance.
