Applications for new enrolments are made by applying online on our website. We generally ask for enrolments at least two years out, but we still accept applications throughout the year for all year levels subject to availability. The enrolment process begins around 18 months out from starting. Closing dates will be published on our website. Our admissions process page guides you through this process step by step.
Accounts are paid by direct debit. Unfortunately Credit cards and EFTPOS are not available for the payment of fees.
Other payment options include 10 monthly equal payments by automatic payment starting February and finishing November or a lump sum at the beginning of each year.
Please provide with your application a copy of your daughter’s NZ birth certificate or current passport and visa, along with a recent photo and her latest school report. If your daughter has any educational assessments e.g. Educational Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, SPELD, Auditory Processing, please upload these too. When we review her application we will be back in touch with you to request further information depending on the year level you are applying for.
Our main intake years are Preschool, Year 1, Year 4, Year 7, Year 9 and Year 11. However, we can accept students throughout the year for all Year levels based on availability.
Waitlists exist for various Year levels so we do recommend applying as early as possible.
We cater for girls from Pre-School from age 3 to Year 13.

Yes we provide boarding for students in Years 7 – 13. Our boarding house is located adjacent to the School grounds. In addition, we also offer a homestay experience for our international students. For full details on boarding, view our boarding page.
We offer a limited number of academic, sport and arts scholarships for outstanding applicants as well as Alumnae bursaries each year. View our Scholarships page for details.
We are accepting of all faiths but are Anglican in expression. No student is required to be Anglican. While at Dio, as an Anglican school, your daughter will attend Chapel services during the year and participate in religious education classes as part of our curriculum. Students are also expected to attend two chapel services on a Sunday each year, one with their house and one with their Year group.
Yes we do. We value the diversity that international students bring to our school community. For all information relating to International students and applications, please visit the International page.
