Do you offer Scholarships?

Awarded on both student achievement and measured by the ACER test, scholarships are offered from Year 6. Applications open in September and the test is usually scheduled around February of the following year.

Is uniform compulsory?

To encourage the sense of wellbeing and community, our uniform is compulsory for all students. Our students wear their uniform with pride and our uniform guidelines are upheld.

Do I have to be a regular church attendee to enrol my child?

An understanding and acceptance of the existence and authority of God is essential. Prayers occur regularly on campus and students are provided with a safe space to talk about their faith and commitment to God.

Do you provide Before and After School Care?

Not currently. We recommend Camp Australia or you can search for out of school care here.

How can I pay my school fees?

School fees are invoiced annually or per term, beginning from the start of your child’s enrolment year. Invoices are typically issued by the end of the preceding year, allowing families time to review their account and set up a payment plan.

Does my child need a laptop?

We maintain a screen-free environment from Prep to Year 4. Technology is gradually introduced from Year 5, with students accessing shared Chromebooks in Years 5–6 and receiving their own College-issued Chromebook in Years 7–8. From Year 9 onwards, students are required to purchase their own laptop through our approved supplier.

How soon should I enrol my child?

Waiting lists have commenced for some classes, so we encourage parents to enrol as early as possible to ensure every child has the opportunity for a Heritage College Knox education.

Are parents or guardians allowed to volunteer on campus?

We welcome family involvement and there are many ways in which you can contribute from supervising reading, volunteering in gardening club, assisting on committees etc. Please contact reception if you would like to offer your services.
