Commitment

Additional Requirements
Shortlisted candidates must submit a portfolio of their documented achievements (video format can also be supplied in addition to the hard copy portfolio) to 榴莲社区 prior to an interview with the appropriate Head of School. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted at the end of Term 1, 2026 to arrange an interview time.
If students are not available during this time period to attend an interview, unfortunately they will not be considered for a scholarship as this may delay the selection and offer process. Applicants should ensure they have no conflicting commitments during this time period.
Shortlisted candidates who are eligible to apply for a means-tested scholarship are required to submit financial documentation such as recent tax returns (past two years) and a statement of assets. Please contact the Enrolments Manager with any questions you may have: (02) 4367 6766.
Value of Scholarships
Scholarships cover remission of tuition fees only. Additional costs such as uniform items, computer notebook, textbooks, excursions and consolidated charges are not included. Means-tested scholarship recipients are exempt from paying most of the additional costs. The value of each Scholarship varies depending on the calibre of the candidate and may be awarded as a full or partial scholarship. The school reserves the right to withhold a scholarship (in any year) if there are no candidates of sufficient merit. All scholarships are subject to annual review but are normally tenable for the length of the recipient鈥檚 education at the school, subject to continuing satisfactory progress, performance and attitude.
Notification of Offer of Scholarship
A letter indicating whether the applicant has been successful or otherwise will be sent to the parents/guardian by the end of Term 1 2026. The school does not provide feedback to parents on any aspect of the scholarship process. This includes the applicant鈥檚 performance in the scholarship examination, music aptitude test, music audition or any interview. Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the school and the school鈥檚 decision is final.
A $1,500 Scholarship Entrance Deposit will become payable by new families to the school on acceptance of an offer of a scholarship (means-tested scholarship recipients are exempt). This deposit is fully refundable without interest when your last child leaves the school. This is subject to parents having paid all monies due to the School and otherwise having complied with the Conditions of Enrolment. If the student鈥檚 enrolment is cancelled or if the student is withdrawn from the school prior to the end of Term 1 2027 this deposit will not be refunded.
Students are shortlisted after the interview process. This list is kept active for 12 months from the date of the scholarship examination.
