How to Enrol

Early years education is critical to laying a positive foundation for learning. We welcome applications at any time, but recommend interested families apply as early as possible to guarantee entry.

The Process

The Process

Step 1

Explore our College

Discover all Hills Adventist College has to offer. Browse our website or visit our social media platforms for a deeper insight into College life. We have Campus Tours available to book online throughout the year. If you have any questions, please call 9851 5101 or submit an online enquiry and our Enrolments team will be in touch.

Step 2

Enrolment Criteria

We seek to offer a place to those who are most likely to benefit from and contribute to the life of the College. No single criteria is a determining factor. Parents are free to choose the school they believe is the best fit for their child, so the College will select families most likely to be well served by the education it is offering. Decisions taken are the responsibility of the Principal and the Enrolments team and no discussion of these decisions will be entered into.

Step 3

Submit an Application

All supporting documents and a $100 application fee are required at this time. The application will be acknowledged by email and the application fee will be receipted.

Due to significant enrolment demand across multiple grades for future years, families are advised to confirm availability prior to lodging an application for 2025 and beyond. Please complete an Enquiry Form and our enrolments team will be in contact.

At this stage Year 7, 2025 is fully enrolled with a waiting list, however, if you have any queries about this year level, please complete an Enquiry Form before submitting an application, and our enrolments team will be in contact.

If you are an Adventist family and require a place in 2024 and 2025, please phone the College and speak to the Registrar.

Step 4

Waitlist

After submitting your Enrolment Application, your child’s name will remain on our waitlist and you will be contacted by our Enrolments Team should a vacancy open. Please contact the College if any of your details change during this time.

Step 5

Meet our Principal

We will contact you to ask you to meet with our Principal. We will then consult with current and/or previous schools, teachers and referees, as applicable. Assessment may be conducted during this time. After your interview, your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted via email if your application has been successful.

Step 6

Placement Offer

Placement offers from the Principal will be emailed to successful applicants. Positions must be confirmed within two weeks of issue by parents with the Letter of Offer and payment of a non-refundable Enrolment Bond of $600.

If parent/carer(s) wish to defer entry of a student to a different calendar year to the initial request, the College will advise whether it is able to agree to this. If it is unable to agree, the student will be placed on the waitlist for the requested year but enrolment cannot be guaranteed.
