Q. When should I start the enrolment process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the high demand for places at 水蜜桃视频\u2019s College, we encourage parents to submit an Application for Possible Enrolment Form<\/a>\u00a0as early as possible.<\/p>\n


\nQ. Do you need to enrol from birth?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applications for Possible Enrolment are accepted from birth and up to one year before a Year 5 enrolment. The earliest applications will be considered favourably.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q. Is Year 5 the only intake year at the College? Are additional enrolments taken in non-intake years, such as Year 7?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The College\u2019s only intake year is Year 5, and students typically maintain their enrolment from Year 5 to Year 12.<\/p>\n

The College does not open additional enrolments in non-intake years, including Year 7.\u00a0 Enrolments in non-intake years become available as vacancies arise, and these places are high in demand and filled from a waitlist by invitation.<\/p>\n

Enrolling your son in Year 5 would benefit from a smoother transition to secondary school, providing you with greater confidence in his continuous education until Year 12.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q. What are the considerations for applications?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Principal will consider applications according to the following considerations, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Active participation in the life of the Catholic Church.<\/li>\n
  2. Baptised Catholic students attending Catholic schools (from Kindergarten to Year 4) and baptised Catholics in non-Catholic schools.<\/li>\n
  3. Siblings of children already attending the College whose families have demonstrated ongoing support for the ethos and values of the Catholic Church and the Edmund Rice tradition.<\/li>\n
  4. Sons or grandsons of Old Boys who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church and the Edmund Rice tradition.<\/li>\n
  5. Families with a connection to the College who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church and the Edmund Rice tradition.<\/li>\n
  6. Families with no connection to the College who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church and the Edmund Rice tradition.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Q. Do you only accept Catholic families?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Students from other faith traditions or non-religious backgrounds who are prepared to support Catholic education and the Edmund Rice tradition may be considered.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Q. What is the enrolment process for students with diverse support learning needs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Students with learning support needs may require an extended period of discernment. This ensures that the appropriate decisions are made, and adjustments are in place to support the individual\u2019s needs successfully.<\/p>\n

    Additional supporting documentation will be required to best support students and their families with the enrolment procedure. We will seek permission to contact your son\u2019s current school for relevant information.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Q. Does my son need to participate in co-curricular?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    All students are expected to participate in the co-curricular life of the College actively. Parents must agree to support this expectation upon acceptance of enrolment\u2014Download Statement of Co-curricular<\/a>.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Q. Is enrolment guaranteed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    水蜜桃视频\u2019s College receives far more applications than it has places to offer. This means that NO student is guaranteed a place at the College. Some families will, unfortunately, be disappointed.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Q. Are there specific enrolment quotas or limitations for Year 5?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The College enrols approximately 217 students in Year 5.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Q. Does the College offer scholarships?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The College does not offer any scholarships for new students joining the College. We offer two scholarships for current students transitioning from Year 10 to Year 11 to support and encourage their learning in their final senior years at the College.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Q. Can I visit the school campus before applying for enrolment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Visiting 水蜜桃视频\u2019s College is currently prioritised to those seeking entry in the next two years and are on the list of applicants.<\/p>\n

    Invitations for a College tour will be sent to parents when their son is in Year 3.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Q. What documents are required during the enrolment application, such as birth certificates, academic records, etc.?<\/strong><\/p>\n
