Pembroke is a non-selective day and boarding school. We offer places based on date of application, with priorities for old scholars, current siblings, children of staff, Boarding and our Intensive English Pembroke Connect Program. For more information, view our Admissions Policy or contact our Admissions Department.

We offer four main intakes for admission: Early Learning Centre, Reception, Year 5 and Year 7. We also offer smaller intakes in Years 9, 10, 11 and 12. Places in other year levels are offered as they become available.

Boarding applications are welcomed in all year levels from Year 7 to 12, and priority is given to Boarding students on our waitlist.

Please refer to our Year Level Calculator above.

We recommend families who are interested in their children attending Pembroke apply as soon as possible. We offer places based on date of application, with priorities for old schoalrs, current siblings, children of staff, Boarding and our Intensive English Pembroke Connect Program.

Applications remain open at all times, and we are able to add families to our waitlist. Some places may become available throughout the year. We also welcome families transferring from overseas or interstate and understand the start time for these families is quite often during the school year.

Please complete an online application form for each child.

On receipt of the completed application and accompanying $110 application fee, your child’s name will be placed on our waitlist for the year level and year of entry.

Please note that completion of an application to Pembroke does not guarantee enrolment for your child.

You may nominate any year level for entry; however, please note there is no guarantee a place will become available.

Approximately two years before entry, we send an email to families on our waitlist. This is to re-confirm a family’s intention of enrolling their child at Pembroke should a place be offered to them. We ask that families indicate their preference via online form. Once we receive these completed forms, we update our registration lists and offer positions according to our Admissions Policy.

It is very important that you advise your intention at this stage.

Please note: It is important for you to advise any change of contact details – please ensure you keep your email address up to date.

Each year level has its own waitlist, which can vary in length depending on whether it is an intake year or not. We do not advise a child’s position on the waitlist at any point in time, as the list changes constantly as families change their preferences.
