General Information

Woodleigh School will award Scholarships at each year of the above levels.  The Scholarships will be for either 25% or 50% remission of tuition fees.  The number of scholarships available at each level varies depending upon the quality of the applicants each year, but Scholarships are awarded at each of the above year levels.  Scholarships are awarded with the intention that they will continue to the end of Year 12, but will be subject to review by the Principal every two years.  Scholarships are both for students not yet attending Woodleigh School and for students already at the School.

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of performance in tests.  For students who perform well on these tests, an interview with the Principal will be arranged.  Evidence of a particular talent in the areas of academic performance or music will be taken into account at interview.

Students applying for a Music Scholarship are required to sit the Scholarship tests but most weight will be placed upon evidence of talent in their instrument, submitted with their application.  Music applicants may also be invited to undertake an audition.

The Scholarship tests are held each year, for entry the following year.

The tests for 2011 entry will be held on Saturday 27 February 2010.
