With unprecedented growth in our region places at The Geelong College, and other schools, are becoming harder to get.<\/h3>\n

\u201cEven though school, or for some families, secondary school might seem a long way off, the time to enrol your child is now so that you are able to secure a place at a school of your choice,\u201d principal Dr Peter Miller explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt The Geelong College we have significant waitlists at almost all year levels for 2023 and 2024, and demand continues to be high for the years beyond that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a privilege for us to serve the Geelong community, and to see such high demand for our school instils a sense of pride, but it does bring with it disappointment for some as there are a finite number of positions available.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Geelong College now recommends enrolling at least five years before your preferred year of entry, so at birth or soon after for Early Learning and Foundation, or Year 1 for Year 7 entry.<\/p>\n

The Geelong College understands that for families moving to the area, or for boarding families, this may not be possible and will endeavour to assist with places where possible.<\/p>\n

Applications are processed in date order approximately two years prior to the entry year, with current siblings and the children of Old Collegians receiving priority.<\/p>\n

The College\u2019s award-winning Junior School, which opened in 2020, has allowed the school to increase intake numbers from Early Learning to Year 3.<\/p>\n

If you are considering a Geelong College education for your child, the College encourages parents to consider enrolling in Junior School where, for 2023 and beyond, there are limited places available.<\/p>\n
