Enrolling at the College

Document Centre Booklets:

Enrolments at agricultural colleges are in high demand. This is particularly so at our College. As a public school, with amazing agricultural resources, it is vital that we enrol students whose pathways are agriculturally orientated. The types of pathways available in agriculture are diverse and post-school options include employment, training and or further study.

The enrolment process commences with students and parents learning more about what the College has to offer. Please take the time to explore our website and read our prospectus before applying. Visiting us at our annual College Open Day is a great way to find out exactly what the College does and has on offer.

Due to high demand,  the WA College of Agriculture – Denmark has a limited number of places in both the education program and for residential accommodation. There is a selection process for both residential and day students wishing to enrol.

The Application Process

The following information outlines the process for enrolment and the basis for decisions on student selection.

  1. Parents and carers complete the Senior Secondary Application for Enrolment Form and attached the required additional documentation to the electronic form.

  2. The College leadership team will review applications and conduct an initial assessment.

  3. Prospective student interviews will be offered to students who are deemed to have met this initial assessment. Prospective students who have not yet met this criteria will not be offered an interview at this stage.

  4. An interview will be conducted either face-to-face or online.

  5. Successful applicants will be offered a position.

During the application and interview stage, the child’s interest in agriculture, trades and certificates, and their capacity to comply with our Code of Conduct requirements will be assessed. Students applying for a residential place will be assessed on their suitability for the residential program.
