Enrol at Somerset
We are delighted you are considering Somerset College for your child’s education. Applications to enrol at Somerset College may be lodged at any time, after the birth of your child. We recommend applications be lodged as early as possible following birth.
Please note, our applications for all year levels have closed for 2025. Pre-Prep and Prep enrolments for 2026 and 2027 are also now closed. We have extensive waiting lists for all entry and non-entry year levels but we welcome you to email our Enrolments Team: enrolments@somerset.qld.edu.au.
Intake Year Levels
Our current Intake Year Levels are Pre-Prep and Year 7. Places that become available at Non-Intake Year Levels are limited and filled as they arise.
The Somerset College Pre-Prep programme, our first entry point into Somerset College, is for children who turn four by the end of June in the year they commence at the College.
The Application Process
Applications to enrol at Somerset College may be lodged at any time after the birth of your child. Making an early application increases the likelihood of securing a place, and it is usual for limited vacancies to exist at most year levels for the beginning of each academic year.
Completing an Application for Admission requires payment of the $110.00 non-refundable Application Fee and the provision of a copy of your child’s birth certificate and current school reports, if applicable. Lodging an application does not guarantee a position at the College.
If your child was born outside of Australia but is now a citizen, a copy of the Citizenship Certificate will also be required. For temporary or permanent residents of Australia, please attach a photocopy of your child’s passport and visa.
Students will be placed on the Enrolment Register for the requested Year Level and year of entry. Please note that the completion of the Application for Admission does not guarantee your child a place.
In the year prior to a student commencing at the College, first round offers will be made to students on the Enrolment Register, generally based on date of application, with priority offered to families who have a current or previous affiliation with the College. Offers will continue to be made until all vacancies are filled.
Admission to Somerset College is conditional upon the College being satisfied as to the capacity of a student to benefit from and be fully engaged in the programmes Offers of places must be accepted or declined by the date given in the offer.
When a position is to be offered, parents will be invited to bring their child to the College for an interview. If possible both parents should attend this interview. When accepting an offer of a position, parents are asked to complete and return the documentation provided and make the payments detailed in the offer.
