Student Opportunities
Scholarships
Pedare values excellence and diversity and seeks to recognise this through our scholarship program.
Pedare’s scholarship program celebrates and fosters excellence in academic achievement and music performance, and recognises students who take responsibility for, and are proactive in, the development of their own learning.
Importantly, the program provides opportunities for students to attend Pedare who may not otherwise be able to do so.
A limited number of Academic and Music scholarships are awarded each year and are reviewed at each reporting period. Scholarships provide partial remission of tuition fees at the discretion of the Principal.
For further information in relation to the College’s scholarship program, please contact the Registrar and Communications Manager, Julie Holland at [email protected] or phone 8280 1700.
Academic Scholarships
— Applications for 2027 Senior Academic Scholarships have now closed —
Pedare offers Senior Academic Scholarships to both new and current students entering Years 9, 10, 11, or 12.
Applicants are required to register online to sit the Senior Scholarship Test, which is administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Applicants are required to demonstrate a range of skills such as the ability to interpret, infer, deduce and think critically. The tests are not curriculum based and do not test the ability to retrieve learned knowledge, nor are they diagnostic.
The value of the scholarships is up to 50% tuition fee remission with Scholarships being reviewed on an annual basis to monitor the student’s continuing performance. It is expected that recipients will complete their schooling at Pedare.
Please direct any enquiries to the College Registrar, Mrs Julie Holland, on 08 8280 1700 or via [email protected]
Please note that for all scholarships and bursaries, the other College charges, such as the Resource Fee, Camp and eLearning Levy are to be met by the candidates’ parents/caregivers.
