WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Your enrolment application will be reviewed by school administration based upon the following considerations;

Enrolment into year levels other than Prep is dependent upon vacancies and the profile of the class at the time of enrolment.
Since the parish school exists to serve the Parish faith community, preference for enrolment will be given to Catholic children.
Children of other faiths are welcomed into our school community provided: the children will participate in the school Religious Education Program; there are sufficient vacancies; the ethos of this school is supported and the Catholic identity of the school is not compromised. The religious beliefs and traditions of these children will be respected.
Children with disabilities or special needs are welcomed provided that the school is able to cater adequately for their needs and the needs of the children in the associated classes.
Each family has an obligation to the payment of school fees to support the school in its endeavours to meet its financial commitments. Concessions on fees may be applied for and are reviewed at the commencement of each year or when financial circumstances change.
