Enrolment Information - Year 5, 2028

Enrolment interview times released to applicants successful in progressing to this stage.

Enrolment interviews held with members of the College Leadership Team and Junior School Staff.  Please ensure you are available on these dates as the opportunity for alternative interview times will only be available for overseas or regional/interstate families.

Following interviews, all applications will be reviewed by Mr Thomson.

Week Commencing Monday 14 September (last week of Term 3) - letters of offer / waitlist / decline from the Principal will be sent via email.

These dates are in line with the Catholic School Agreement

We require copies of the following documentation to be added to your son's application:

• Birth Certificate
• Baptismal Certificate (if Catholic)
• Semester 1, 2025 School Report Card
• Semester 2, 2025 School Report Card
• Cover Letter
• Student Interest Form (handwritten by the student)
• Documentation relating to any Learning Support, Professional Assessments etc (if applicable)
• Visa/Passport/Citizenship Documentation (if not born in Australia)

As the following will not be available to you before the applications close, we will email you to request the following at a later date. There is no need to supply these until they have been requested:

• Semester 1, 2026 School Report Card
• Year 3 NAPLAN results

Given the high volume of applications, it is essential that families submit a cover letter alongside their application. This letter plays a crucial role in providing information not captured in the application form, such as your reasons for applying, any prior connections to the College, and what your son and family will contribute to the Nudgee College community. Please ensure this letter is included, as it will significantly support the review of your application.

The interview lasts around 30 minutes and is an opportunity to get to know your son, his interests, favourite subjects at school and also answer any questions you may have. 

While we understand it may not always be possible, our preference is for all parents/guardians attend the interview with their son.

Due to the volume of applications we receive, we are unable to progress every applicant to the interview stage. 

There is a separate process which will be completed earlier next year for Year 7, 2030 entry. This is a smaller intake of approximately 40 Day positions and 40 Boarding positions. Please contact admissions@nudgee.qld.edu.au to let us know if you would like to change so that we can include you in communications when this application process commences. 

If you complete the Year 5 process and decide at a later date to defer to Year 7, this will be subject to joining the waitlist.
