Becoming a Columban

By applying for admission to St Columba's School, you are taking your first step to becoming part of a nurturing, supportive community. Here, excellence in education, pastoral care and co-curricular activity will be central to your child's scholastic journey, whether they enter the school age 3 or age 17. 

We understand that every child is different and that in many instances, family circumstances will dictate a child's entry point. For these reasons, there are no rigid entry points at St Columba's - we are here for you when you need us.


Take the first step...

Fill out an application form here below to tentatively hold a place for your child and gain access to our Admissions Portal which is packed full of resources to help you learn more about St Columba's but it also acts as a guide to the process, in addition to the hands on support you will receive from our Admissions Registrar. 

  1. Read our Admissions Policy here.

  2. Fill out the Application Form here.

  3. Pay the Application Fee here.

Once we have received an completed application form, our Admissions Registrar will gladly arrange a taster day and entrance assessment for your child so that they can experience life as a Columban for the day! At this point, you can also apply to our Bursary Fund for financial assistance, if required.
