How to enrol

As a popular and constantly growing school, we recommend submitting an application for your child as soon as you can.

There are four easy steps to enrol at St Peter’s Woodlands.

Step 1 — Tour our school

The best way to learn about the school and see if it’s right for your child and family is to come and see. We regularly offer Principal Tours with Helen Finlay and Open Days for our Early Learning Centre. Or book a personal tour at a time that’s best for you with Jo, our Enrolments Manager.

Book a Tour

Step 2 — Complete an application form

Simply complete your online application form to be placed on our database. At this stage we also need a copy of your child’s birth certificate and charge a $95 application fee. We’ll confirm your application by email..

Apply Online

Step 3 — Your letter of offer

If a place is available for your child we’ll email you a letter of offer. You’ll have a couple of weeks to accept the offer and secure your place with a $500 Enrolment Confirmation Fee. If we can’t offer your child the place you wanted, we will still let you know and keep them on the waitlist.

Step 4 — An enrolment interview

It’s exciting that you’ve chosen St Peter’s Woodlands so we’ll meet with your family and child to get to know you and explain the transition and support you’ll get as a new member of our community.
