Application process

Step 1 – Apply

We recommend applying two years prior to the start date. However, we continue to receive applications while places are available. There is no fee to complete an application.

Step 2 – Family meeting and video

If offered a family meeting (interview), families are invited to submit a video introduction and provide a school report prior to the enrolment interview. Interviews begin in the first two terms of the year preceding the student’s start year and last approximately 30 minutes.

Please note that due to high demand, some applicants may not receive an interview. Often, boarding and/or affiliated families are interviewed first.

Step 3 – Offer of a place and acceptance

If a family receives an offer of a place, they have two weeks to accept the offer by making payment of the enrolment fee and returning a signed Admissions Agreement.

Affiliation with the school

Often, priority for an interview is given to affiliated applicants who are:

  • siblings of current or past students, or
  • direct descendants of Collegians, or
  • direct descendants of past staff, or
  • direct descendants of school governance members.

If you have an affiliation with St Paul’s, please include the information in the enrolment form.

Fees

The annual fees schedule can be found here.

If you have any questions, please contact the Enrolments Office at +64 7 957 8889 or email enrolments@stpauls.school.nz.
