This is where it starts.
This page has information on how to enrol your child at school.
The first stage of the enrolment is to contact the College to express your interest in enrolling your child.
In order to confirm your child’s enrolment at Pinnacle College, it is necessary to complete an Enrolment form available from the Front Office. This form should be lodged with a $55 application fee payment. School reports, birth certificate, and other documents are also required. Applicants are placed on a waiting list according to the date of receipt. It should be noted that placement on the waiting list does not guarantee a place.
All the students on the waiting list are invited to sit an entrance exam and an interview. Students who meet the minimum education requirements of Pinnacle College are then invited for an interview with their family.
The interview is a critical part of the enrolment process. One or both parents must attend with the child. Interviews are an invaluable opportunity for Pinnacle College staff to find out about the family and the child to discuss the suitability of the school culture. It is an important opportunity to learn about the school ethos and management and an opportunity for parents to discuss any special abilities or needs of the child. Reports and documents indicating previous academic achievements must be brought to the interview. If an interpreter is required for communication with the parent/guardian(s), please inform the front office in advance.
Applicants who have successfully passed the entrance exam and the interview process will be contacted by an Enrolment Offer for a place at Pinnacle College. Unsuccessful applicants will also be contacted. Factors determining offer of placement include the student’s ability to benefit from Pinnacle College’s program (entrance exam and interview) and date of application.
Orientation days are arranged for children enrolling in Foundation in November. For further inquiries please contact
