The D'Arcy Slater Scholarship is awarded annually to a student entering Year 7 and is in memory of D'Arcy who died in tragic circumstances in 1991. The successful applicant will have demonstrated the potential to make a strong all-round contribution to the School and possess early indications of leadership potential.

The Scholarship provides for the full remission of tuition fees and is tenable for six years, assuming satisfactory progress is made. A Portfolio is required showing certificates, awards, press clippings, personal references and any other relevant material highlighting your son's particular ability.
