General Information Regarding Scholarships

Any student entering Year 7 or Year 10 in the following year (including current students) is eligible to apply.

All girls applying for an Academic Scholarship must sit the examination.

Girls who perform well in their testing will be invited to an interview in May, with our Principal to assist in the final selection.

Scholarships are awarded based on the interview and results of the Academic Assessment Services Examination. At the interview, the Principal will take into account the student's involvement in her own school and local community.

Candidates will be notified of the outcome in writing by early June.
