Understanding the enrolment process
A document outlining the complete enrolment process is available for download, and is listed under the downloads menu of this page. The main steps involved in enrolment at Cedar College are:
Submitting the Enrolment Form
Enrolment forms can be downloaded, or are available from our Front Office. Before signing and submitting the Enrolment Form, please read the conditions outlined on the Enrolment Agreement. Please note that it is the responsibility of the parent/caregiver to fill out separate enrolment forms for all siblings wishing to attend Cedar College. If this is not done, we cannot guarantee placements for any siblings. The Enrolment Form should be returned with a copy of their child’s most recent detailed report card (excluding Reception enrolments).
Testing and Interviews
Once the form is received we arrange to have the child tested in literacy & numeracy, to help evaluate the needs of the child. An invitation to attend an interview (on the basis of what has been submitted) is then offered. We then arrange a suitable time to meet with the Principal or Head of Department to discuss:-
• Needs of the child • Curriculum • Ethos of Cedar • Parent expectations • Cedar’s expectations.
Provisional Enrolment Offer
The Principal makes a decision and a Provisional Enrolment Offer letter is sent. To accept our offer of placement in a class, or on a waiting list, you will need to pay a once only, per family, non-refundable enrolment fee of $100. If this amount is not paid within 14 days your child’s enrolment/waiting list placement will automatically be cancelled and your application withdrawn.
Confirmation of booking will be sent the year prior to commencement. If circumstances have changed and Cedar College acknowledges it is not able to cater adequately for the child, the Enrolment Fee will be refunded.

Intake levels
The main entry points into Cedar College are Reception and Year 8.
Reception Intake
Children will be eligible to commence Reception at the beginning of the year if they turn 5 years of age before 31st March. Our Junior School (R-2) has two classes per year level.
Year 8 Intake
Intake at Year 8 level will depend on availability of space. Cedar College plans to double stream and possibly triple stream future Year 8 classes. This intake will enable Cedar College to have slightly smaller class sizes, greater subject choices and healthier student dynamics. Cedar College is now accepting Expressions of Interest for future Year 8 classes. Year 8 enrolments may not be submitted any earlier than 2 years prior to the requested starting date.
Intake at other Year Levels
Intake at other year levels will depend on availability of places. For information regarding spaces in specific year levels please contact the Enrolment Office on (08) 8261 3377
