Process of Enrolment

Enrolment of students into the college is set out by DET guidelines and there is a clear process which is followed. In Term 2 primary schools will provide an application for enrolment form to all Grade 6 students. Families need to complete these forms and return them to their primary school. Those families which select Grovedale College will be collated and sent to the College. Parents will receive a letter early in Term 3 confirming the enrolment with the relevant enrolment forms.

In term 4 all students attending in Grovedale College for the following year will be invited to the College where families and students will be provided with important information relating to booklists, camps and other programs on offer.
