Stage 3 - Offer of Place
- Successful applicants will receive an Offer of Place letter, to be returned along with the signed Overseas Student Written Agreement and payment of the application fee and fees deposit.
- Offers are conditional based on the student reaching the required English proficiency required for their Year level. Reports from Avalon College will form part of this assessment.
- On receipt of the signed acceptance and agreement and payment of fees, the Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) and Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW) documentation will be prepared.
English language requirement
International Students for whom English is a second language must sit an entrance test administered by Australian Education Assessment Services (AEAS) prior to commencement of study at Ballarat Grammar. AEAS results determine whether students require intensive English study with our partner Avalon College; any offer of place will be conditional upon completion of required English study. If students choose to study at a different language school, they will be required to re-sit AEAS testing prior to commencement. Our direct entry AEAS requirements are outlined below:
International Agents
Our current system requires agents to complete the form using parent email addresses and contact details. We encourage agents to email admissions@bgs.vic.edu.au prior to submitting the application.

Acknowledgement of Country
Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn, live and work, the Wadawurrung People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
Commitment to Child Safety
Ballarat Grammar maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of child abuse and actively implements measures to identify and manage any risks of harm to students within our school environment. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people are central and fundamental responsibilities of the School. We are firmly committed to fostering a child-safe culture that provides an environment where students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices heard in decisions that affect their lives. Ballarat Grammar values diversity and strictly prohibits any racist or discriminatory practices. All members of our school community share the responsibility to care for children and young people by promptly raising any concerns regarding their safety, promoting their wellbeing, and protecting them from all forms of harm or abuse.
