Latest Enrolment Update

Current as of 29 March 2021

Day student entry years are Year 5 and Year 7 only. 

  • Year 5 day students are in line with the Catholic Schools agreement and offers are made two years prior. 
  • Year 7 day students are offered three years prior. 
  • Day student entry in other year levels is subject to availability and all applications will be waitlisted.

Boarding student entry years are mainly Year 7 to Year 10. The majority of Boarding students will commence in Year 7. For 130 years Boarding has been at the heart of Nudgee College and we are committed to continuing to provide the opportunity for families from across rural Australia whose sons need to live away from home to attend a school. Boarders’ applications are accepted for all year levels, subject to availability

Due to the increased waitlisting on year levels, the administration fee* ($250) will be waived for 48 hours only on all year levels if the application is submitted in person at Open Day or Open Morning, or any Nudgee College stall at a regional event. The form should be completed before the event and must be accompanied by a copy of the student's birth certificate. It must be submitted online or in-person to a Nudgee College staff member at the registration desk for the fee to be waived. Nudgee College staff will be able to assist with photocopying birth certificates at Open Day or Open Morning if required. 

*Please note: Administration fees which have already been paid when an application was lodged are not able to be refunded.

*If your son's year level is currently waitlisted, please consider applying. Family movement can occur across year levels, therefore vacancies do become available. If we have your details, we will be able to contact you as soon as a position becomes available.

Please email admissions@nudgee.qld.edu.au for any queries.
