How likely is it that my child will be offered a place at Scots College?

Scots College has seen a significant increase in enquiries and enrolments in recent years, and we feel it is important to offer a clear enrolment process, as places are currently filling faster than in previous years. When we reach capacity, we institute a waitpool system. You will be notified if your application is in the waitpool.

What are your fees?

The fees for Scots College can be found on our Enrolment & Fees page.

All new families to the College are required to pay their monthly account by Direct Debit, unless alternative arrangements are made that are acceptable to the College.

Do you offer scholarships?

Scholarships are an important part of Scots College and are available to students in Years 7 and 9, as well as Senior School students (Years 11-13). Applications for 2026 scholarships are now closed.

Can I visit Scots College?

Open Day
The Scots College Open Day is held each year around March, and we also run a number of smaller tours and open events during the year. If you missed out on one of these events and would still like to tour Scots College, you can contact our enrolments team.

Principals' Tours
We hold Principals' Tours at various points in the year, where you are invited to join a small group of parents and students in a guided tour of Scots College, hosted by one of our Principals and some of our students. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and really get to know the College.

Our next Principals' Tours will be held 8-12 September 2025. Please note that the Junior School tours are split into session for Years 0-3 and for Years 4-6. We ask that you please select the session that most aligns with the year of entry you are looking at.
