Helena College is an independent, non-religious school offering education from Kindergarten to Year 12. With a broad and inclusive admissions policy, we understand that choosing the right school is a significant decision for every family. While our main intake years are Kindergarten, Year 4, and Year 6, we welcome registrations for all year levels across both our Junior and Senior School campuses.
Due to limited places in selected year groups, we encourage you to apply early. If you would like to learn more about Helena College we invite you to take a campus tour or speak with our Enrolments Coordinator on 08 9298 9100 or email enrolments@helena.wa.edu.au.
Enrolment Criteria
Enrolments are reviewed on the basis of:
- The reports and information provided by the parents (including medical reports, student’s special education needs, behavioural history);
- The resources the student will require in terms of human resources, financial, material and space;
- Parental commitment to supporting their student’s education program at home and at school;
- Review of transition from Year 5 at Darlington Campus to Year 6 Glen Forrest Campus if student has special education needs; and
- The Principal / Head of Junior School may, in discussion with the student, parents, staff and College Psychologist, enrol a student on a conditional basis in light of the student’s particular situation and/or needs at the time of or during the student’s enrolment.
For further information, see our Enrolment Policy.
*An important note about Year 7 entry Year 6 is our main intake year at our Glen Forrest Campus and marks the beginning of Middle School (Years 6- 9). Our Year 6 program is a carefully designed to take in the unique needs of our emerging adolescents and provides a gentle introduction to secondary school in a safe and caring environment. You can find out more about this dedicated area, and our approach to a scaffolded transition here - it also includes answers to frequently asked questions. While applications for Year 7 entry are welcomed, availability of Year 7 places will depend on the number of students with confirmed enrolment commencing in Year 6 in the preceding year. For example, if our Year 6 2025 year group is at capacity, we would be unlikely to be able to offer places for a Year 7 2026 start. We recommend contacting the Enrolments Coordinator to find out about availability for Year 7 entry, or booking a tour of the Senior School to learn more about the Year 6 program.
The Enrolment Pathway
Our online registration process is quick and easy, and can be completed before or after attending a tour of one or both of our campuses. Find out more.
Sibling Enrolments
We cannot offer siblings of enrolled students a priority placement if we do not have a completed registration form on file for them. We strongly advise that registration forms for siblings are completed as soon as practical after the enrolled sibling has commenced at the school.
