Growing with NCC: Let's get started
At Nunawading Christian College, the enrolment process is designed to ensure that every prospective student feels welcomed and supported.
To begin the journey with us, all families will have the opportunity to meet our friendly enrolment team. During this process, we will assess the student's suitability and readiness for our school community.
Our enrolment process typically begins 1-2 years before your preferred entry time.
- Prep - interviews commence in Term 1 (March or earlier) the year before entry. (It is a requirement for enrolment at NCC that a student has turned 5 before January the year they start Prep.)
- Year 7 - interviews commence early in Term 2, when the prospective student is in Year 5.
We also welcome applications for other year levels, however acceptance is subject to availability and meeting our standard criteria. We commence interviews for the following year from Term 2, sending out offers once Term 3 has commenced and we know what the availability is for the following year.
Below, we've compiled a step-by-step guide for our enrolment process.
