Enrol My Child

Please Note: St Mark's is currently not accepting Enrolment Applications. Application for enrolment will reopen in late 2024.

Our Enrolment process embraces the diversity of our community, and we welcome all applications. Parents who wish to apply for admission are required to complete an online application for enrolment, which incurs a non-refundable application fee of $50.

Among the factors taken into account when assessing applications, in no particular order, are:

• whether the applicant has siblings already attending the School;
• children of parents who indicate a willingness to support the Anglican and community ethos of the School;
• whether they are children of clergy;
• if they are children of participating members of the St Mark’s Old Scholars’ Association;
• if they are children of regular church-attending families;
• whether the children live in the local community;
• the date of application;
• individual family circumstances;
• the outcome of the interview process.

In all cases, the School Principal makes the final decision as to whether an offer of enrolment is made. The Principal retains the discretion to offer places to ensure an academic and coeducational balance is maintained across the whole School.

Application

Apply as soon as possible for your child to be placed on our waiting list. The earlier the better! One of the enrolment criteria is the age of the student at the time of application.

Confirmation of Interest

If you have applied for a place in a main intake year, we will contact you approximately 2-years prior to your intended commencement date to confirm if you are still interested in a place.

It is imperative that you complete your Confirmation of Interest and return it timeously.

Interview and Offer

Students who meet the St Mark’s enrolment criteria are invited to an interview with their respective Head or Deputy Head of School and successful families will receive a formal offer to join St Mark’s.

Confirmation of a Place

A non-refundable, non-transferable enrolment fee (25% of the Middle School Tuition Fee) is payable on acceptance of the offer, which confirms the student's place at the School for the year offered. Tuition fees, including the Enrolment Fee, can be viewed here.

Countdown to St Mark’s

Once confirmed, parents can look forward to regular communication from the School, which will provide important information and dates in the build-up to commencing in your offered year.

Parental Participation

At St Mark's, our bond with parents and friends is what sets us apart! For years, our St Mark's Parents and Friends' Association has been the heartbeat of our community, tirelessly supporting the school's growth and nurturing a strong sense of community.

We believe in the power of teamwork and involvement. That's why we've created the Community Participation Program, fondly known as 'Parent Commitment Hours,' under the caring guidance of the St Mark's Parents and Friends' Association.

When you join our St Mark's family, you're not just enrolling your child — you're becoming a vital part of our mission to achieve spiritual and educational excellence. Your active participation isn't just welcomed; it's essential. We ask each family to dedicate a minimum of 10 hours per year to volunteering within our vibrant community.

The opportunities to contribute are endless! Whether you're lending a hand at school-based events or providing practical support directly to the school, every moment you give enriches our collective experience.

We've made it easy for you to track your contributions. Just log your hours through our convenient online system here. And while we cherish your time and effort, we understand life gets busy. If, for any reason, you're unable to meet the volunteer commitment, there's a nominal fee of $330, which helps us sustain the invaluable programs and initiatives powered by our dedicated community.

The focus of the tours is to showcase some key facilities and a snapshot of day-to-day life on campus. Tours generally focus on one of three areas within our campus:

• Early Learning Centre (Kindy, Pre Primary and Year 1)
• Primary School (Years 2 to 5)
• Middle School (Years 6 to 8) and Senior School (Years 9 to 12) combined tour.

We generally run one tour per term. Click the link above to see the dates available.

Please note that attending a school tour will not guarantee enrolment at St Mark’s. Following a School Tour, parents are invited to apply for enrolment at our School.

It is important for prospective parents to be aware that St Mark’s experiences high demand for places and whilst every effort is made to assist, an offer of a place cannot be guaranteed. If this is the case, your child will be placed on our waiting list.
