Interest
The King's School is one of Australia's best-known schools and aims to be a national leader in boys' education, residential education and character, values and leadership training. Headmaster Dr Tim Hawkes and the School have published a number of books and tertiary level courses on these subjects, and conduct internationally recognised seminars, conferences and lectures. The School is represented at major education Expos, regional Field Days and in leading print media outlets.
Word-of-mouth comments by parents of current students and Old Boys remain a powerful means of generating interest in the School.

Assessment/Interview
Preparatory School applicants are assessed by the Head of The King's School Preparatory School or the Director of Infants. Kindergarten applicants are invited with their parents to attend interview and profiling nine months before anticipated commencement. Years 5 to 11 applicants may be assessed using tests administered by EduTest (www.edutest.com.au) One-on-one interviews are conducted with Kindergarten to Year 2 applicants.
This assessment is supplemented by interview and evidence of co-curricular, sporting or leadership potential.
Decision
Based on the process outlined above, an Offer of a Place to attend the School may be made. Such an Offer will nominate year and level of entry and whether the place is as a day student or boarder. Boarding places cannot be transferred to day.
If parents decide to accept the offered place on their son's behalf, a signed acceptance form (both parents and/or guardian need to sign an acceptance form as this becomes the binding contract between the School and families) and the nominated fee (at present $3600) will be acknowledged and a place confirmed.
The School provides a detailed Handbook for commencing students and for Senior School places, will arrange an interview with the Director of Studies to confirm subject choices.
