Enrolment

A new start begins with one conversation

At Alta1, we understand that deciding to enrol your child is a big step especially if school hasn’t worked out before.

Our enrolment process is relational, trauma-informed and transparent, designed to help families feel supported every step of the way.

We take the time to listen, understand each student’s story, and make sure we’re the right fit to meet their needs.

Together, we build a pathway toward learning, belonging and purpose.

Our approach to enrolment

Enrolment at Alta1 is not just about filling in forms it’s about finding the right environment where your child can succeed.

We consider each student’s educational, social and emotional needs and our capacity to provide the right support.

We believe in full partnership with families, and we ask for openness and honesty about your child’s background, wellbeing and learning history so we can tailor the right plan from the start.

All information is handled confidentially in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

The enrolment journey

Step 1 - Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI)

Start by completing our simple online Expression of Interest form. You’ll receive an email confirmation outlining what happens next.

Step 2 - Initial Review

Our Enrolments Team reviews every EOI carefully to understand your child’s circumstances and ensure we can meet their needs.

If we need more information, we’ll reach out directly or connect with our wellbeing staff for guidance.

Step 3 - Meet & Greet Interview

You’ll be invited to an Interview Meet and Greet (IMG) with the Regional Principal and a member of our Wellbeing Team. This meeting is relational and relaxed an opportunity for your child and family to:
  • Visit a campus
  • Share your story and goals
  • Learn how Alta1 programs work
  • Ask any questions before deciding whether to proceed

You will also be asked to complete some documentation before the Meet & Greet interview is scheduled. A regional representative will guide you through the process.

Step 4 - Enrolment Offer & Acceptance

If Alta1 is a good fit, you’ll receive a formal offer of enrolment, including the required forms and agreements.

Once everything is signed and returned, we’ll confirm your child’s start date and begin preparing for orientation.

Step 5 - Orientation & Welcome

Before classes begin, your child will take part in a tailored orientation designed to make the transition comfortable.

This includes meeting teachers and chaplains, touring the campus, and setting personal goals through their Documented Plan (DP) – a personalised roadmap for academic and wellbeing growth.

Students with additional needs

Alta1 is committed to providing inclusive education and upholding the Disability Standards for Education (2005).

We make reasonable adjustments to support students with disabilities or additional learning needs, in consultation with families and professionals.

If specialised supports fall outside what we can safely or reasonably provide, we’ll work with you to explore the best alternative pathway.

If we reach capacity

Some campuses have waitlists due to high demand. At times we may need to close ‘Expressions of Interests’ for certain regions and year groups. We encourage you to keep an eye out on our social media channels and revisit this page to stay up to date.
