Scholarship opportunities are available for students entering Years 7 to 12 in 2026. These scholarships are a recognition of excellence and dedication in various areas, including academics, sports, music, and the arts. We invite students to take advantage of these opportunities to further their education and personal growth. Please note the College does not traditionally offer full-tuition scholarships. 

It is a requirement of the Scholarship Application that prospective students have an application in to attend the College.  This is an additional application via this link which incurrs an additional application fee. 

Academic Scholarships

Academic Scholarships are available for students entering Years 7 to 12 who demonstrate outstanding academic performance in their studies and excel in the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) scholarship examination.

Sports Scholarships

Sports Scholarships are available for students entering Years 7 to 12 who show excellence and committment to sporting endeavour. That commitment is typically demonstrated at higher level participation, such as Regional, State or National representation. Applicants will not be required to sit the ACER Test, instead will be required to submit a Cover Letter, a 2-Page resume / CV, and two written references from Coaches as part of their application. 

Music Scholarships

Music Scholarships are available for students entering Years 7 to 12 who show excellence and commitment to music endeavour. That commitment is typically through reports, performances and an audition with the  College. Applicants will not be required to sit the ACER Test, instead will be required to submit a Cover Letter, a 2-Page resume / CV, and attend an audition with the College's Head of Music. 


Year 10 2026 Service and Leadership Scholarship

Year 10 2026 Service and Leadership Scholarships are available for students entering Year 10 2025, who show outstanding commitment to their community through different avenues. This scholarship may be issued as a full academic scholarship. Applicants will be required to sit the ACER Test, and submit a Cover Letter and a 2-Page resume/CV. 

Once the College has received the examination results, shortlisted applicants will be contacted to arrange an interview with the Principal. Shortlisted Music scholarship applicants will be contacted to attend an audition.

The discount amount, length and number of scholarships offered is dependent on the number and quality of applicants in each year, with the final decision remaining at the discretion of the College Council. 

Retention of a Scholarship is subject to annual review and satisfactory levels of performance, involvement and behaviour by the recipient.
