Applications for places at St Peter’s College are oversubscribed, with almost double the number of students applying compared with places available.
We do not require a student to write an entrance examination to qualify for admission into St Peter’s College. However, the student’s school report is scrutinised, and we request a confidential report and credit clearance from the student’s primary or current school. Grade 8 applicants will need to pass Grade 7 and be the appropriate age to be considered for admission. We reserve the right to assess candidates for further clarification of ability if required (e.g. immigrants or homeschooled individuals). After reviewing the reports and feedback, we then schedule an interview for both the student and parents with the College Headmaster.
Applicants moving from a learning-assisted or home-schooled environment will need to supply a recent Educational Psychologist’s report confirming they are ready to mainstream.
Places for Grade 8 are allocated on the following basis:
- Places are offered to siblings and graduates from the St Peter’s Boys and Girls Prep Schools first.
- Places are then offered in date order of application.
