Enrol at Nelson College
We look forward to working with you and your son at Nelson College. Our school offers a world-class education to the young men of Nelson.
We offer a wide range of academic and co-curricular opportunities for your son to grow and succeed, in a supportive and caring environment where it’s safe to mature as a young man.
Procedures for Enrolment
We would like you to enrol online, using the link provided below.
If you are unable to complete your application online, please either download a pdf version or visit our School Reception, between 8am – 4pm Monday to Friday in order to collect a paper copy of the application form.
While online applications for enrolment can be partially completed and updated later, it is preferable to gather all your documents ready to attach and submit a complete application.
If you need to return to your application you must complete all the ‘required’ fields, you can submit your enrolment and tick “remember me on this computer”. When you come back to the enrolment form from the same computer at a later time you are able to choose to start a new enrolment application or update the existing application.
It is advisable to complete your application on a PC or computer rather than a smart device.
Before you start it is advisable to have the following documents scanned as PDF’s:

“The Year 13’s, the group of young men that I’m proud to call my mates, we’ve had it all thrown at us and yet here we are standing tall with our heads held high as we prepare to move on to bigger things. It’s amazing to see even with everything that has gotten in the way how close we’ve become as a group.
I’m proud of the men each of every one of you has become and getting to hand out the Leaver’s Certificates yesterday really hit that home for me. To all of you who have helped in some way to give this year some familiarity, your work did not go unnoticed and I can’t thank you enough for your support this year.”
