Entry into Barker is subject to the availability of places, and many of these are secured years in advance. Having a child currently at Barker does not guarantee a sibling a place, although siblings do receive priority on the waiting list.
Step 2 : Your Application
When we receive your completed enquiry form, you will receive your log-in credentials to the Barker Admissions Portal by email to Start/Manage your Application to Barker.
Please ensure that you have a copy of your child's birth certificate, citizenship documents, where applicable, before commencing an application. Our non-refundable Application Fee is $385 (including GST).
Step 3 : Confirming Your Place
Where positions are available, an offer of confirmed place may be made. To accept the offer of a Confirmed Place Position, a non-refundable confirmed place fee of $2,250 is payable within 14 days of the offer being made. This represents 50% of the Admission Fee with the balance payable 12 to 24 months prior to commencement.
For cohorts where all positions are filled, applicants are placed on a Wait List by order of the date of application and subject to the School's priority list.
Step 4 : Finalizing Your Place
Families with a confirmed place and a wait listed position will be contacted by the Enrolments team between 12 to 24 months* prior to commencement with a request for additional documentation which may include a student questionnaire, updated school reports, NAPLAN, family references and other supporting documents.
Upon receipt of the requested documentation, places are finalised in the following order:
- Confirmed Places with the payment of the balance of the Admission fee within two weeks of the date of offer
- Should places be available, then by wait list in order of the date of application and subject to the School's priority list, with the payment of the Full Admission Fee within two weeks of the date of offer.
