Kinder (3 year old) and Pre Prep (4/5 year old) is offered three days a week (Monday to Wednesday or Wednesday to Friday), four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and five days a week (Monday – Friday). A limited number of two day a week (Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday) places are also available in Kinder.

The standard day program is run between 8.30am and 3.00pm and is available 48 weeks a year or during term time only (39 weeks a year).

The preferred Kinder or Pre Prep program is nominated when accepting an offer of enrolment.
Children must be three years old before they can enrol in the Imaginarium.
A non-refundable $115 (inc. GST) application fee per applicant is required. To accept an offer of enrolment for Prep – Year 11 a non-refundable $1,500 enrolment fee is payable, of which $700 is credited towards the first tuition fee invoice. There is no fee to accept a place in the Imaginarium (ELC).
Applications are submitted online, via the application portal (click the ENROL NOW button above). The following must be provided to complete each application:
Applicants cannot be considered for a place until all the required documents have been provided.
Applicants names are placed on the waiting list for the year and entry level requested. An application for enrolment does not guarantee a place as there are often more applicants for each intake than there are places available. In general, applications for admission are placed on a waiting list in order of receipt of the application. Priority for admission may be given to certain applicants. More information can be found in the College’s Enrolment Policy
The enrolment process commences two years prior to Year 7 entry (ie. when applicants are in Year 5) and in the year prior to entry for all other year levels. All applicants for Prep to Year 11 are required to attend an enrolment interview with the relevant Head of School before an offer can be made. Interviews will not be scheduled until all relevant reports and documents have been provided. Applicants for Kinder and Pre Prep are not required to attend an interview however a meeting with the Imaginarium Coordinator may be required prior to commencement.
The enrolment process for each intake will continue until all available places have been filled.
Offers for enrolment are made in writing and must be accepted within ten working days. To accept an offer both parents/guardians must sign an acceptance of the terms and conditions (Prep to Year 12) or terms and conditions (Early Learning Centre) of enrolment (both signatures are required unless there is a legal reason not to do so). The signed acceptance must be accompanied by a non-refundable $1,500 enrolment deposit, $700 of which is credited toward the first tuition fee invoice (Prep – Year 11 offers only).
Once an offer has been accepted the student’s enrolment in the relevant year and level is confirmed. The Year 7 transition process begins in April/May in the year prior to commencement. The transition process for all other year levels begins in October/November in the year prior to commencement.
