The first step of the enrolment process is to complete our free Application Form (see link above). This can be found online, or we also have hard copies available from our Enrolments Office. Once this form is received, one of our Enrolments Officers will contact you by email to acknowledge that your child is now on our application list for the requested year, and advise of the next steps.

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 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.

No. We have an open enrolment policy which means that we do not have a local intake area or boundary of intake.

We are a Christian school, and are welcoming of all religions and cultures. We do however expect that enrolled families will support our beliefs and values.

Yes, we offer three different Carey GATE (Gifted and Talented Entry) Scholarships for Year 7 entry each year - STEM, Academic Excellence and Music Specialist. In addition to our GATE Scholarships, we also offer two other scholarships for Secondary School years - our William Carey Scholarship for students who are either first-generation descendants of a refugee or are refugees themselves, and our Carey Right Track Scholarship for indigenous students displaying leadership potential and a commitment to being positive role models within and beyond the Carey Community.

At the moment, we are waiving our $50 Application free, so there is no fee to apply and place your child's name on our waitlist. Once you begin the enrolment process with us and are offered a place, a non-refundable enrolment confirmation fee of $500 is payable for the first child in a family, and $250 for a second child. After that, no confirmation fee is charged for third or more children in a family. This fee holds your child's place until they begin at Carey.
