Enrolling at The King David School

All families are encouraged to attend a Discovery Tour where you have the chance to meet the Principal and other relevant staff members and see the School in action during the regular school operating hours. You will also have the chance to speak with current students who can answer your questions about the School. Click here to book a tour.

All applicants are required to complete the online Application for Enrolment Form and pay a $100 Application Fee.  We encourage you to complete this application as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Once this has been received, your child will be added to our waiting list for the nominated year level and year of entry according to the School’s Enrolment Policy. Please contact admissions@kds.vic.edu.au for an application form. 

For students in Prep – Year 12, a pre-entry form is completed in the year prior to commencement. We also ask you to submit copies of previous school reports, NAPLAN results and any other educational assessments (where applicable) at this time. Note for Year 7 entry, this process takes place two years prior to entry. Please contact admissions@kds.vic.edu.au to begin this process. 

For entry into Prep – Year 12, students, together with their parents / guardians are invited to an interview with the Principal and/or Head of School to discuss their interests and answer any questions you might have. An application and a pre-entry interview are a prerequisite for admission but not a guarantee of admission.

For entry into Years 1-12, students join in with a regular day in their peer level. Students may also undertake pre-entry assessments. For Year 7 entry, attendance at either Connect Day and/or Experience Day is required in place of a day visit.
