Our Academic Scholarships recognise students entering Year 7 who demonstrate exceptional academic ability. This scholarship supports your studies from Years 7 to 12 and empowers you to reach new heights in your educational journey. 

Community Excellence Scholarships

Open to students entering Years 7, 8, 9, or 10, these scholarships celebrate those who seek out extraordinary pathways to personal excellence. Recipients embody the spirit of community involvement and serve as role models for their peers, showing that academic success and social responsibility go hand in hand. 

Students applying for a Community Excellence Scholarship should be able to demonstrate enthusiasm, participation and exceptional commitment in a diverse range of activities which may include; community involvement, leadership, extra-curricular involvement, persistence in academic pursuits and service.

The application process includes the student submitting a handwritten letter to the Principal outlining their achievements and reasons for applying along with a character reference letter from a teacher, coach or community member. Applicants will then undergo an interview with a selection panel.

Music Scholarship

To support and nurture future musicians, two Music Scholarships are available for students entering Years 5–10:

Instrumental Music Scholarship – open to students who play any instrument.

Instrument of Need Scholarship – available in 2028 for the following instruments:
