Experience Barker on a tour of the School
Reading about Barker gives you a strong sense of who we are. However, it’s only once you experience the campus, facilities and students that you can fully appreciate what makes a Barker education so unique.
To allow us to give you the full Barker experience and all the insight you need, we encourage you to book ahead through this website.
Offers of Places
For students entering Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Years 3, 5 and 7, we offer places based on strict order of age at the date we receive their application and subject to the School's priority list. Once offered, we ask for payment of a confirmation fee to hold the place.
For the past few years, Barker has been experiencing very high demand for places. In fact, there is limited availability well into the next decade. It is gratifying that so many want to join the Barker community and partake in all that we have to offer. We are truly honoured.
However, with this comes challenges regarding pressures on our waiting list and having to deliver honest but disappointing news to families hoping to secure a place for their child. We are in the situation where many on our waiting lists, some of whom have siblings currently at Barker, will not be offered a place simply because they are all taken.
A Tight-Knit Community for Boarders
Boarding is a unique experience offered to our senior students, starting in Year 10. By learning, growing and living together, students form bonds that will often last a lifetime.
With a long history of supporting country families, we give preference to students who are coming to Barker from rural and regional areas.
Country families are encouraged to get in touch with our Enrolments Office to arrange a tour of the campus and our boarding facilities.
An Anglican School for Everyone
While we’re an Anglican school, we enrol students of all faiths and strongly believe that our school community is enriched by diversity.
