How early should I register my child?

As soon as possible. There are significant wait lists in operation for some year levels. Other year levels however have no or a short waiting list. As Prep and Year Seven are a major entry point for the College, applications are advised to be submitted at least four years in advance in order to avoid disappointment.

How does the school allocate places?

The School has an admissions policy in terms of preferencing applications but offers may ultimately be made on a first come first served basis. Enrolment interviews commence approximately 18 months ahead for entry into Year Seven and 12 months for Prep.

How do I know where my child is on the waitlist?

The College does not reveal the position of applicants on the waitlist. This is due to a number of factors including sibling enrolments. The waitlists are very fluid and can change significantly at any given time.

When it is close to the academic year commencing, and your child does not have a confirmed place, the registrar will provide an update on the likelihood of your child receiving a place.

What if I change our year of entry?

You won't lose your child's pace on the waitlist; it will simply transfer over.

Does CCW offer scholarships?

The College is looking at offering scholarships in 2025. Please monitor this page for further information.

Do I have to purchase a laptop?

Students in Years Six to Twelve are required to bring their own device to school. Please refer to our BYOD program for further information.

Does my child have to be Anglican?

Yes. However, students are expected to uphold the Anglican values of the College. Sub-schools participate in fortnightly Chapel.

Do you have Open Mornings/Tours?

Yes. The College hosts two Open Mornings per year. The next Open Morning will be in Term Three, 2024.
