St Spyridon College at Maroubra, Sydney, has announced that applications are now open for its ACER Academic Scholarships for 2027, offering high-achieving students the opportunity to secure scholarships for entry into Year 7 and Year 11.
The scholarships are open to both existing students and external applicants, with selection based on performance in the external Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) scholarship examinations.
Registrations close on Sunday, 8 February 2026. A non-refundable application fee of $160 applies.
The ACER scholarship test for 2027 entry will be held on Saturday, 28 February 2026, from 8.30am to 12.00pm, at St Spyridon College Senior Campus, located at 1130 Anzac Parade, Maroubra.
For Year 7 2027, scholarships will be awarded to candidates who achieve the highest standards in the ACER examinations. Successful recipients will be granted a scholarship tenure of four years, subject to annual review. Ongoing eligibility will depend on students demonstrating sustained academic effort, maintaining a top-six ranking within their year, and exhibiting exemplary conduct. Failure to meet these criteria may result in suspension of the scholarship, with the possibility of reinstatement if standards are later met.
For Year 11 2027, scholarships will be offered to top-performing candidates for a two-year tenure, covering Years 11 and 12. Continuation into Year 12 will be contingent upon diligent application to studies, high academic performance, and exemplary behaviour.
St Spyridon College encourages families seeking academic excellence within a values-based educational environment to consider applying and to complete their registration through the ACER online application process here within the stated timeframe.
