At Arden we aim to inspire and challenge our students to use and share their God-given talents to achieve their potential.

We offer Academic and Music Scholarships to students who display high standards of achievement, leadership skills and a commitment to the academic and co-curricular programs at Arden.

We encourage students who are willing to take part in all aspects of school life to take up this opportunity to study at Arden.

Scholarships are available for:

• Year 7 – Academic Scholarships
• Year 7 – Music Scholarships

Scholarships are offered as a percentage of a student’s tuition fee.
