HSC’s Admissions Process
The decision to enrol your child at HSC is the first step towards securing a brighter future for your child and we are here to guide you throughout the admissions process.

From application to enrolment, our Enrolment Team will make sure all your questions are answered. The process is designed to ensure the best possible start for your child’s HSC experience by getting to know them and their ideal learning style. Below is a step-by-step look at what you can expect from our admissions process. 

Applications are now open for the 2025-2026 school year. Get yours started now!
HSC's students are children who are eager for life. They’re ready to make new friends, ready to discover and to solve problems. Ready to explore new ways of seeing and being in the world. Our students have a strong sense of self and know who they are and where they're headed. They are children who come of age with a clear sense of purpose so that by the time they graduate, they are the best version of themselves and have the confidence gained from a lifetime of learning at one College within a safe and welcoming community.

Empowered by HSC's rigorous academics, sound social and emotional development and student-centred, Project-Based Learning (PBL), our students have confidence to succeed and the tools to face failure head on. They are community builders who embrace and champion diversity because they value integrity and respect individuality. HSC students are change-makers who will take on the world and make a difference.
