Enrolment Policy

Highview College provides a quality Christian education that is affordable to all members of the community.

Highview College has an open entry policy in which students are accepted in order of enrolment ie. when the enrolment form is completed and the $75 Enrolment Registration Fee is paid.  Application of this policy will at all times be at the Principal’s discretion.

Where there is a strong demand for places, preference is given to the following families at the Principal’s discretion:
  • Existing families
  • Children of current staff members
  • Families of past students and staff
  • Families from the local community
ENROLMENT INFORMATION

1.  APPLICATION FOR ENROLMENT
Families must complete and submit the Enrolment Form together with the non-refundable $75 Enrolment Registration Fee in order for their child/ren to be considered.

2.  ENROLMENT PROCESS

Families will be invited to attend an interview with the Principal if there is a place available.  Following the interview, families will receive a letter informing them whether or not their child/ren has been accepted.
To accept the place(s) families must pay an Enrolment Establishment Fee of $150 per student.  This is payable as a commitment to the student’s enrolment at the College.  It is an advanced payment of tuition fees credited to the family’s account.
For families where child/ren commence during the school year the $150 Enrolment Establishment Fee will be deducted from the Term 4 fee account.
Fees are charged at the start of each term in 4 equal installments and are to be paid by the 3rd week of each term.
Families that find it convenient to make regular payments via payroll, direct debit or credit card deductions should contact the Business Manager to make the necessary arrangements.

3.  WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COLLEGE
Families wishing to withdraw their child/ren from the College are to inform the Principal in writing of their intentions.  A Leaving Form should then be completed giving a minimum of 5 weeks notice.

4.  TO HOLD A PLACE AT THE COLLEGE

In the event that families wish to withdraw their child/ren from the College for a period of time and later re-enrol him/her, an amount equal to 25% of the fees (for the period of time the student is to be absent) is to be paid to hold a place.  When there is a strong demand for enrolments, if no money is paid, a place cannot be guaranteed.
