Admissions

Admission to the College in Year 8 is by means of assessments provided by the Association for Quality Education AQE Ltd (CEA assessment) or Post Primary Transfer Consortium PPTC (GL Assessment).

Campbell is a test centre for both the CEA and GL Assessments, for which we provide as supportive an environment as possible. Those who elect to sit the assessments in Campbell do so in small classroom groups, not in large halls. A familiarisation day is held prior to the actual assessments so that the children can experience the environment, and meet supervising staff, so that they will be familiar with the actual administration on the day(s).

Parents of International Boarders must nominate a guardian as part of the admissions procedure.

All students should have appropriate guardianship arrangements in place to allow them to be hosted outside the College during those times when the Boarding Department is closed for holidays, as necessary, during illness, when residency in a communal environment is not suitable, or for disciplinary reasons.

This is an essential criterion for admission.  Please click on the following link to download and complete the guardianship form. Once completed please send back to us.
