Complete the online registration form, available here.  A non-refundable administration fee of $130 is charged per child and is to be paid at the time of submission. The administration fee is waived for alumni (Old Helenians).  

Prior to starting the Registration Form, please ensure you have the following documents (if applicable):

• Copy of child’s birth certificate
• Visa and/or temporary/permanent residency documents and passport (these are required if your child does not have an Australian Birth Certificate)
  
• Any other relevant information*
  

Once the registration form has been received, it will be added to our prospective enrolments list. A completed registration form does not guarantee a place. Registrations are reviewed by date of application; however, registered siblings of current students are given priority. We recommend registering siblings as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Prior to being contacted to arrange for the enrolment meeting, our Enrolments Coordinator will send a Student Information Questionnaire to the parents of the prospective student.  The questionnaire gives parents the opportunity to update their key contact information, and most importantly, provide the College with additional information about their child. This includes providing us with their most recent school reports, NAPLAN reports, immunisation history and any updates on physical or health condition that the College would need to be aware of to ensure the child is able to fully participate in school programs. 

Families are offered pre-enrolment meetings in order of registration date, with registered siblings of students already enrolled at the College given priority. Completed registration forms must be received for siblings as soon as practical. We will contact you about the availability of a place and a pre-enrolment interview in the year prior to your child’s proposed commencement. 

In the case of Year 6, a pre-enrolment meeting will take place up to two years in advance.

If there are no places available in your preferred year of entry, you will remain on our enrolments list, and we will contact you as opportunities arise. 

Please consider the pre-enrolment meeting your opportunity to share information with us, and ask questions that are specific to your child. Tours are general in nature, so the pre-enrolment meetings are ideal for focusing on your child and their individual needs.

Following the meeting, an offer of a place may be made. All offers are made at the discretion of the Principal.

If you decide to accept the offer of a place for your child, a non-refundable fee is payable per child to confirm the child's enrolment at Helena College. This fee is not off-set against the first fee account. From January 2025, our pre-enrolment fees are as follows:

• Kindy to Year 9: $995

• Years 10 to 11: $425

• Year 12: $275

This is all done online, and will also provide you with the opportunity to update your contact details should they have changed since your application was submitted. Once the forms have been completed, and the payment made, your child's place at the College will be confirmed.

We understand that moving to a new school can be both exciting and a little daunting. To further assist in the transition to Helena College, Orientation Days and Parent Information Evenings are held for incoming students and their families.

In some instances, trial days may be offered to assist in the ransition to the College. These are primarily offered for Senior School students, and are arranged on a case by case basis.

Should your child commence part-way through the year, or outside of the usual intake points, we will work with you and your child to make the transition as smooth as possible. This may, for example, include ensuring your child has an allocated buddy to help make them welcome and settle into the Helena College routine.

Registration fee: A once-off non-refundable fee of $130 (including GST) per child is payable when the completed registration form (including copy of the child's birth certificate) is submitted. The registration fee is waived for children of Old Helenians.
