Hillcrest Christian College Enrolments

Our Enrolment Process – 6 Simple Steps

The College has reached capacity in most year levels, however as the Gold Coast is a transient city, positions can become available from time to time and current waiting lists are not too long.

If you wish to discuss enrolment and find out about current availability in the year levels you require for your children, please complete our Enrolment Enquiry Form.

Someone from the College Enrolments Team will be in contact with you as soon as possible.

Links to Enrolment Application Forms are listed below. However, we encourage you to submit an Enrolment Enquiry Form to enquire about enrolment availability prior to submitting an application.

We’ve made the enrolment journey as straightforward as possible. Here’s what to expect:
