Mandurah Baptist College is a private, co-educational Kindergarten to Year 12 school that offers a comprehensive curriculum in a positive and safe learning environment. MBC students have the opportunity to discover and develop their individual skills, strengths and talents to achieve their potential.

Step 2: Waiting List

Following registration, you can contact the College Enrolment Officer for more information regarding your child’s position on the waiting list.

Waiting lists are prioritised by registration date and sibling priority.

Step 3: Enrolment Interview

When a place becomes available for your child, the College will invite you to come in for an enrolment interview with our Principal, one of our Heads of School or Deans.

The interview introduces you to key staff members and the College’s educational philosophy, and is followed by a College tour to see our facilities and get a feel for our great College and its community.

Step 4: Confirmation of Enrolment

Following a successful enrolment interview, you will need to confirm your intention of commencement to the College by completing the Enrolment Contract and payment of the confirmation deposit.
The confirmation deposit is non-refundable and will be deducted from your first term’s school fees on your child’s commencement.

You will then be contacted for a uniform fitting. Once this booking is scheduled, the Registrar will contact you in regard to your starting date.

We invite you to explore our modern campus, discover a vibrant community and learn how we support our students throughout their learning journey.
