Montgrove College Enrolment Process

  • Parents interested in Montgrove College are welcome to attend an Open Day where they will be given a tour of the College. Parents may also attend an Information Evening. An explanation of the PARED system of education will be given by the Principal at these events. An invitation to apply will be extended to families who have attended an Open Day or Information Evening.
  • Parents interested in enrolling their child at Montgrove College must complete and submit the Enrolment Application Form (in full) together with the supporting documents and payment of the Application Fee before they are assessed for eligibility to progress to an interview.
  • The school will contact parents the year before their child is to start Kindergarten regarding the interview stage. Applications for other school years will be processed as positions become available.
  • Students enrolling in Kindergarten must have turned 5 years by March 31 of the year that they are to start school.
