We offer two enrolment periods per school term. This allows teachers to plan and adjust their teaching strategies based on a more stable class program. The set enrolment days, along with an introductory interview allows us to better place students in classes that align with their academic level and learning style.

Our Enrolment Process
Download and Complete our Enrolment form and email to us with the relevant documentation.
After the ballot has been complete (usually in early September) all in-zone students and successful out-of-zone students are sent confirmation of their enrolment with a link to a Google form where they share information about their child.
We begin each year at Northcross with a 10-minute interview. The interview takes place between you, your child and the classroom teacher. In mid December families will be sent an email with the students class for the next year, how to book an interview for the start of the year as well as stationery and uniform information.
