The primary entry point at the College is Year 7 for both boys and girls, with limited availability at all other year levels.

The College roll is generally full at the start of each academic year; however, there is sometimes movement in the roll over the summer break that may result in places becoming available.
We recommend that applications are received by the end of Term 1 of the year preceding entry. Please note that we always have many more applications than places available, so we encourage families to plan ahead to ensure that they secure a place for their child.
Applications for the College should be made on the official Saint Kentigern Online Enrolment Application.
An application may be submitted up to three years ahead of entry, and following receipt, prospective students, along with their parents/caregivers, may be invited for an enrolment interview in an informal and friendly setting in the year prior to entry.
On Wednesday Wednesday, 5 March 2025, we will be holding a College Open Day, and for Terms 2 and 3, Campus Tours have been scheduled.
The tours begin at 9:00 am and run for 90 minutes. They are led by Admissions and the Senior Leadership Team. These tours will give you the opportunity to explore the College campus and gain a better understanding of how a Saint Kentigern College education could benefit your child.
Please note: Tours will only take place where compliance with the current Covid Protection Framework requirements is assured. Attendee number restrictions, masks and other measures may be required. Saint Kentigern reserves the right to cancel tours at any time based on H+S requirements.
