Enrolling at Onslow College
Thank you for your interest in our school. This is what you need to do:
How to Enrol
We need a lot of information about every student before we can accept her/him.
Please send the following (by post or email):
- A school report with information about her/his progress/grades over the past 2 years.
- A letter from their current school about the student’s attitude and character.
- An Application Form. Please also read this information document before you complete the form. It will help you to decide if New Zealand and Onslow College is the right choice for you.
After we have received your application, we will email you to let you know whether we can offer the student a place at Onslow College. An offer letter and invoice will be sent to you.
