TAS is a place where students have the chance to explore new horizons. It is a place to make new friends; experience exciting challenges and adventures in and out of the classroom, and be given the chance to excel at whatever they choose to do.

To begin your family’s TAS journey, please explore this website.  We then invite you to complete the online enquiry form. As soon as the enrolments office receive this, we will contact you to introduce ourselves and send you an e-pack with further information and registration details. At this time we can discuss the option of a visit and a tour of the school at a time that suits you.

Every day is Open Day at TAS.  In addition to individually arranged tours and meetings, we do conduct a Scholarship and Open Day each February in conjunction with our scholarship exam.  This is generally aimed at families who have registered for enrolment the following year however we encourage anyone who is interested in a TAS education for their son or daughter to attend.  To read about the enrolment process, please use the menu at left.

Application

The first step is completion of an Enrolment Application Form and payment of a non-refundable Application Fee ($250). This entitles a student to be registered for TAS, however does not guarantee entry of a place, which is dependent on an interview. Prior to the proposed entry date, parents/guardians and the prospective student will be invited to TAS for an interview.

Interview

Arrangements will also be made for an Experience Visit (including an overnight stay, for boarders). For the interview, copies of the student’s school reports, NAPLAN test results, records of academic, sporting or cultural achievements are also required. In the case of Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, all applicants will be invited to an interview during early August prior to the year of entry.

Following an interview and Experience Visit, the school may make an offer of a place. The school accepts the right to offer or not offer a place for an applicant, regardless of payment of the Application Fee. Offers are made if and when places become available. A Letter of Offer will be accompanied by an Enrolment Acceptance Agreement.

This signed Enrolment Acceptance Agreement must be accompanied by a non-refundable Acceptance Fee of $650 (Junior School), $1,000 (Middle School) and $1,250 (Senior School) in order for a place to be secured. In addition, a one-off non-refundable payment per family of $100 to the TAS Parents and Friends Association (P&F) is also payable.
