Families offered a place will have a short period in which to accept. To secure the place, families must complete the requirements of the Enrolment Agreement, agree to the Terms and Conditions outlined in the offer letter, and pay a non-refundable enrolment bond of $1,000.
The enrolment bond will be credited towards school fees once the student commences at 秘密研究所.
Families who are not offered a place may choose to be considered for the waiting list. They must indicate that they wish to be included. If a place subsequently becomes available, the College will contact the family.
Once enrolment is confirmed, families will receive further information about important dates and transition activities for both parents and students.
