The Admissions Process
Families are encouraged to make applications well in advance of the entry point for their child as we are experiencing heavy demand for places.
Once your application form is received, you will receive written acknowledgement and your child will be placed in our Applicant Pool. All applicants will be assessed on an individual basis and an interview with the Principal will be arranged for those who have been selected to the next stage.
Please note applications for Middle and Senior School 2023 have now closed. Any applications received will be processed and placed in our Applicant Pool.
Applications for 2024 and beyond are now open. Please complete the application form below.
THE APPLICANT POOL
All applications received for entrance to Kristin School are initially placed in our Applicant Pool. Applicants in the pool are not listed in any particular order and are assessed based on their merit and other factors we look for including our Kristin values. Those who are successfully selected will be asked to bring their child in for an interview with the Principal for a final assessment.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Not all applicants will be selected to interview when we are experiencing heavy demand for a particular year group. Some places are kept open each year for Scholarship entrants and also students coming from our overseas partner schools. In addition to the Principal's interview the following factors are taken into consideration in our selection process:
KRISTIN VALUES
-
Progress – Continually growing and developing as well-balanced lifelong learners.
-
Vision – Having a sense of direction and purpose, building on our innovative founding families’ aspirations for personal and collective excellence.
-
Integrity – Being honest and of strong moral principles to make a supportive difference in our world.
-
Love – From a strong self, able to affirm and compassionately serve others and our environment.
