General applications for Discovery College
Many year levels are oversubscribed and parents should contact the College's admissions staff for details. Assessments / interviews for enrolment are dependent on places becoming available.
If you are applying for primary placement, the College strongly recommends that you either consider a Nomination Rights, and/or apply to other schools.
A student has to be in the IB Diploma Programme / Career-related Programme (Years 12 & 13) for the full 2 years of the programme and should start school in mid-August of the beginning of the academic year. There is some flexibility in the starting date, but apart from in exceptional circumstances as determined by the College a student will not be able to start after 4 weeks from the start of the academic year.
Applications for Year 13 will be considered where a student has completed the first year of the DP or CP in another school. All cases will be examined on an individual basis, and the College reserves the right to accept or reject any application at its discretion, the final decision being that of the Principal. Applications for Year 13 will not be considered for students who have not completed the first year of the DP or CP.
Applications are valid for one academic year. Applicants on waiting lists at the end of the academic year may carry forward their waitlist position by reapplying for the following academic year. Parents will be contacted once a year to reconfirm their wish for their child to remain on the College's waitlist.
