Domestic Student Enrolment Process

Online application

All applications require completion of an online Enrolment Application and include the provision of
the following documents:

the applicant’s Birth Certificate or Passport
if applying as a temporary or permanent resident, a copy of the applicant’s visa

A non-refundable and non-transferable $200 application fee is required in order to complete the application. This fee is waived for children and grandchildren of OWs.

An application is a prerequisite for a place on the College waitlist, however it does not guarantee an enrolment.

Application progression

For students entering Years 5 and 7, the enrolment process begins three years prior to the preferred year of entry. For students entering all other year levels, the enrolment process begins up to two years prior to the preferred year of entry.

All waitlisted families are emailed an Application Progression Questionnaire to register their continued interest in a possible place at Wesley College. The Application Progression Questionnaire should be completed in full and returned with the following documents:

applicant’s most recent school report
the applicant’s NAPLAN results (as applicable)
a copy of the applicant's immunisation history statement issued by Medicare (for applications to ECLC to Year 6)
any specialist reports (where relevant)
for students seeking entry into the Senior School (Years 10-12), academic performance as demonstrated in school reports will be assessed for students applying with English as a second language for entry into Year 5 onward. AEAS test results (no more than 12 months old) will be required at this stage of the enrolment process.

In addition to the above information, domestic students (holding a TR/PR Visa or Australian Citizenship), for whom English is a second language, must provide an English proficiency test administered by Australian Education Assessment Services (AEAS) with their Application Progression Questionnaire.

AEAS test results provide detail regarding the student’s proficiency in English and is one of the measures of the candidate’s suitability. The table below is a guide to scores for entry:

Year Level	AEAS Score	Stanines (score)
Prep - Year 4	No AEAS required
Years 5-6	60 and above	7 and 6 in non-verbal general skills and Mathematics
Years 7-10	70 and above	7 and 6 in non-verbal general skills and Mathematics
Year 11	80 and above	7 and 6 in non-verbal general skills and Mathematics

The AEAS test may be completed in your home country or in Melbourne, and should be completed within 12 months of submitting your application. The College must see evidence of students attaining a satisfactory level of English before entering mainstream study at the College.

Interview

Selected applicants that proceed beyond the waitlist stage may be invited for an interview with the Head of Campus (or delegate) based on the criteria considered through the application progression process.

Offer of enrolment

Offers of enrolment will be made based on:

consideration of available places and the gender balance in class, year, school and campus cohorts and where relevant, within Learning in Residence
review of the Application Progression Questionnaire and supporting documentation (including immunisation history statement issued by Medicare for applications for ECLC to Year 6, school reports, NAPLAN reports, specialist reports and other supporting information)
outcome of the interview with the Head of Campus (or delegate)
for students with English as a second language, submission of AEAS test results with an English score of at least 60 for Year 5 entry and a score of at least 70 for Year 7 entry, and minimum Stanines of 6/7. Please note AEAS test results are valid for 12 months only
where English is a second language, and based upon consideration of the AEAS test results, the prior language of instruction, prior academic results and other relevant matters, an offer of enrolment may specify a minimum length of time for participation in an English Language Preparation Program (ELPP) which is required to improve a student’s English level to be competent in the desired year level and to ensure they have a good understanding of the language used in the mainstream courses studied at the College

A Letter of Offer will be issued for the applicant including the Terms and Conditions of Enrolment, Fees and Expenses, Child Safe information, link to relevant Policies, and Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) where relevant, the Learning in Residence (LiR) Family Handbook for boarders, the Scholarship or Bursary Terms and Conditions, where relevant, and any other terms and condition. Together these relevant documents comprise the Enrolment Agreement.

Acceptance of offer of enrolment

To accept an offer of enrolment, the Confirmation Fee of $1,200 and Tuition Contribution Fee of $2,800, are payable. The Tuition Contribution Fee is deducted from the first account after the student has commenced in Prep level or above and is most commonly deducted from the April account. This fee is not transferable, refundable or able to be deferred to a future year level.

Please note, Wesley College reserves the right to withdraw the offer of enrolment if the above conditions are not met or should we determine that we are unable to meet the specific needs of the student. If Wesley withdraws the offer of enrolment for any reason, the Confirmation Fee and Tuition Contribution Fee will be refunded. In all other circumstances, the fees are not refundable nor transferable to another year level or student. For more information, please refer to the fee schedule.

Attend a campus tour

We recommend booking a tour at the campus of your choice. Campus tours are great opportunities for families to meet our staff and students and learn more about the Wesley College experience.
