WITHDRAWING ENROLMENT (LEAVERS NOTICE PERIODS)

We understand that circumstances change and families may need to withdraw their enrolment from Mentone Grammar.

Please find withdrawal information as per the Enrolment Terms and Conditions outlined below.

Withdrawal Process

To withdraw a student from Mentone Grammar, both parents (unless one parent has sole legal decision-making authority for the child) must provide the Principal and Registrar with at least one full term’s written notice sent via email to:

Penalties for Failure to Provide Notice

Waitlist Placement

Families who withdraw their child may place their child on the waitlist to potentially re-enter the School in the future. Enrolment at Mentone Grammar is highly competitive, and waitlists are extensive. Placement on the waitlist does not guarantee enrolment. Places are offered in accordance with the School’s waitlist priorities, as well as the date and time of application.

Key intake years, when additional classes are typically offered, are:

  • Three-Year-Old Kindergarten
  • Year 5 (limited places only)
  • Year 7

Entry into Pre-Prep, Foundation (Prep) to Year 4, and/or Years 8 – 10 is generally only possible if a current or enrolled student withdraws. Due to cohort capacities, such opportunities are rare. The School does not offer entry into Years 11 or 12, unless under exceptional circumstances as determined by the School.
