Enrolment and school structure
The school is functionally divided into two sub-schools; a Junior School, catering for students in years 7 to 9; and a Senior School, catering for students in year 10 and VCE. The school's total enrolment exceeds 1100 students every year, and excessive demand for enrolment into year 7 over the past decade have restricted the school's annual year 7 enrolment to a specific geographical zone surrounding the school. Applicants residing outside of the zone must submit a formal written application in order to be considered for enrolment. Within the Junior School, each year level cohort is divided into nine 'form groups' of around 24 students (e.g. 8A,8B,8C,8D,8E,8F,8G,8H and 8J), and students undertake the majority of their formal classes with their form group. Over the last decade, the school's total male enrolment has far exceeded its total female enrolment, and this has led to the formation of several all-boys form groups in the junior school to allow the formation of co-educational form groups with more balanced ratios of boys to girls. In 2004, the school's year 7 cohort had a female enrolment of only 27%, the school's lowest ever year 7 female enrolment. However, as the years have progressed, the number of girls has risen and sits at roughly 40%.
