Welcome to the Preparatory School. We aim for every student to do her best in whatever she undertakes, either individually or co-operatively.

Small dedicated class sizes ensure that our tuition is personalised. There are four classes each with 24 students and our entire school roll is 96 students.

The interviews for 2011 have now taken occurred and places have been offered. If you are interested in placing your daughter's name on our waiting list, please complete an Expression of Interest form (in the Resources section on the right) and we will contact you should a place arise.

The Information Evening for 2012 intake will take place in September 2010.  All those families who have completed an Expression of Interest form will be informed of the date, and a notice will be placed in the Nelson Mail in the week prior. All are welcome.

Applications are considered one year in advance of entry and we recommend early registration for the waiting list.  To register, please complete the Expression of Interest Form available in the Resources Section on the right. This ensures you are contacted for an interview in the year prior to requested entry.  It is extremely important that you inform us of any changes to your contact details to ensure that you are kept up to date with the application process.
