Prior to the interview you will be asked to submit an Interview Request Form and accompanying paperwork including recent school reports and written references. You are encouraged to be candid about your expectations, aspirations and concerns so that the Principal can address them during the interview. Both parents are expected to attend the interview together with the prospective students. Families are interviewed together so that places for siblings can be secured at the same time.

Following a successful interview, you may be offered a place at Queenwood. The usual entry points are Kindergarten, Year 3, Year 5 & Year 7, although other offers are made, at the Principal’s discretion, if places are available. In order to accept a place, parents must return the paperwork included with the written letter of offer, including the signed Conditions of Enrolment and the Acceptance Fee Payment Form. Your daughter’s enrolment will then be confirmed. Owing to demand for places, deferred entry cannot be offered. Please note that the first term’s fees are payable 6 months prior to start date.

Entrance into non-entry years is on the basis of reports, references and an interview.

There is an automatic progression from Queenwood Junior School to Year 7, Queenwood Senior School. New Senior School students are offered a confirmed place on the basis of reports, references and an interview. Interviews may take place up to two years prior to students commencing at Queenwood.

Entrance during the school year is possible if vacancies are available and the Principal offers a confirmed place in writing. It is preferable that students commence at the beginning of a school term.
