How to Enrol

Northholm Grammar is an independent, non-selective, co-educational school for Kindergarten to Year 12. We are a school with inclusive Christian values, welcoming families of all faiths and cultural backgrounds.

Our Enrolments team are here to support you on your admissions journey and guide you through the enrolment process.

When to enrol

Our major year level entry points are Kindergarten, Year 5 and Year 7; however we accept enrolments across all year groups subject to positions being available. We invite enquiries all year-round, including students transitioning during the year.

To place your child on the waitlist, we recommend families submit an enrolment application form as early as possible (up to seven years prior to the intended year of entry). Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee an interview or a place.

We understand that visiting our campus is an important part of your research and assists in understanding whether Northholm Grammar is the right school for you and your child. For that reason, we offer a number of options for families to visit our school. Open Days and weekly weekday tours will allow you to explore Northholm’s facilities and experience the many opportunities we offer our students.

We are currently enrolling for a number of 2027 entry points and 2028 entry across all year groups subject to vacancies. Note that Kindergarten and Year 7 places are filling fast. Applications for 2027 and beyond are welcome.

Enrolment process

  3. All applications are reviewed up to 18 months prior to the calendar year of entry. Applications are reviewed by application date order and students that meet the selection criteria may be invited to attend an interview with the School. The selection criteria includes, but is not limited to, a student’s effort and commitment to learning, their behaviour profile and involvement in school life. It is expected that students will demonstrate exemplary behaviour and a consistent commitment and effort to learning as well as uphold the school’s ethos and expectations.
  4. A place may be offered post interview and an Offer of Enrolment will be confirmed in writing (via email).
  5. Families wishing to accept the place are required to sign the Acceptance of Offer form and pay a non-refundable and non-transferable acceptance fee of $3,000 (per student)
  6. Prior to commencement, the School will allocate your child to a House and Pastoral Group and provide you with details regarding school uniforms, textbooks, transport information and more.
  7. As a valued member of our school community, all out students are expected to maintain a high standard of personal conduct and academic engagement throughout their their time at Northholm.

*Please note: Incomplete applications will not be considered. Please ensure all requested information and reports are contained within your child’s Application to avoid delays in the application process.

It is essential that the Enrolment team is kept updated with any changes in contact details. If at any stage of the enrolment process, we cannot contact the family, we will be unable to further progress your child’s application and the student will be removed from our wait list.

Any changes of address or contact details must be forwarded to the Head of Enrolments via email at enrolments@northholm.nsw.edu.au.

Priority placement

Priority is allocated to students who will benefit most from a Northholm education as per the selection criteria. Siblings of current or past students, and children of alumni and current staff are allocated higher positions on the waitlist as well as families enrolling multiple children. Other positions are reviewed by application date order. However, all applicants, irrespective of the date their application was lodged, are required to meet the selection criteria. Submitting an application form does not guarantee an interview or an offer of enrolment.

Continued enrolment is dependent upon certain prerequisites such as student’s attendance, behaviour, sustained commitment to learning and effort, timely payment of fees and the student and the parent/carer(s) observing all codes of conduct of the School. This information is set out in the Northholm Grammar Terms and Conditions of Enrolment signed by both parents at the point of acceptance of enrolment and in our policies.

Northholm has a limited number of scholarships available for exceptional students entering Year 7 and Year 11. Read more about our scholarship offerings by following the link below.
