Quick question regarding Private School Enrolment in Australia
I have paid $50 x 3 at 3 different school back in 2020 and now been asked to submit information required and attending parents and kid interview.
So how does the process works if I putting in all 3 applications and say I got accepted by all 3, what goes from there? Do I simply tell the other 2 school sorry we have decided not to attend? Or can they actually bill me for wasting their time?
Anyone with experience in that regards?
You can always retract your application. That's what the $50 is for
Ok i see. Thanks for that
simply tell the other 2 school sorry you have decided not to attend

You pay the non-refundable first term fees to the one you want to go to.

Pretty sure they have a waiting list and don't give a hoot what you decide…
Actually waiting list these days are a lot shorter due to the crisis of living.
Not in Vic.
crisis of living
It's something we all have to face
Pick the best one and contact the admissions office at the others. This is such a regular occurrence they do not care.
Ok thank you!
The school will make an offer, you can only accept by paying a non-refundable deposit.
If you don't pay by deadline, the offer lapses.
Good to know.
If a popular school has alot of waiting list, can the student be rejected based on his/her school result? My kid is what I call a B+ student.
A school interview also goes both ways. Unless the school is in super demand, they need to sell themselves to you too.
Can the school reject the student if the student is simply a B+ student? My kid gets mostly B but sometimes have a A in it. Never had a C as long as I can remember
It would depend on the school's stated aims, I think. If they're strictly after academic performance and want their school to rank highly on that basis, then it's possible. But not all schools are like that - acceptance can be based more on teacher's comments than outcome. ie willingness to learn and participate, resilience, respectful non-disruptive behaviour etc.
thank you
you get triple the education!
Starting to make sense now….
Regular occurrence?¿
