Gisborne Boys’ High School welcomes enrolments from young men of all ages. The majority of boys enter school at year 9 through the normal process of enrolment from Intermediate or rural school.
The enrolment procedure starts with the completion of an enrolment form, either found at the back of our 2009 prospectus downloaded from our school website or picked up from our school office.
All new enrolments are interviewed by the Principal, an Assistant Principal, Student Manager or appropriate year Dean. The aim of the interview is for the interviewer to gain some knowledge of the all-round ability and interests of each student and outline our expectations of them as members of our school community. The interview is an important part of the enrolment procedure and no exceptions are made to this process. A tour of the school can be arranged at the same time. However we encourage all prospective students and their family to visit the school during one of our many open days or open evenings.
All prospective Year 9 enrolments are required to sit pre-entry tests in English, Maths and Science at the end of their year 7 year. Then PAT Tests in English, Mathematics, and Social Science, held during the first week as year 9 students. The results of these tests, along with other enrolment information, are used to ensure students are placed in appropriate classes to best meet their academic and social needs.
We look forward to meeting our prospective students every year and hope that we can be part of their transition from young men to thinking, committed and positive men of the future.
