Enrolment
Enrolment
A place is reserved as soon as we receive your application. Here is what happens, and in what order.
Every Boy Is Interviewed, Not Sorted
Coogee Prep has a non-selective admissions policy. Boys with a wide range of abilities and talents can enter the School at any grade where there is availability, and enrolments are accepted from families of all faiths.
The School is single stream, which means one class per year group from Kindergarten to Year Six. Places are limited by that structure rather than by an entrance examination.
The School's nurturing environment helps create a sense of belonging for each student and builds confidence from a very young age. Our senior students further develop these skills through their schooling, specifically in their preparation for entering the high school of their choice.
If your question is not answered here, ring the School Office on (02) 9398 6310. It is a small office and you will speak to someone who knows your son's year group.
