Enrolment timeline

Our Catholic schools welcome enrolment enquiries and applications for all grades at any time of the year. However, for Kindergarten and Year 7 enrolments, schools generally follow a set timeline:

Application – Term 1 (Feb-Apr): Kindergarten applications are encouraged during Term 1 the year before your child is due to start school. Year 7 applications are also encouraged during Term 1, however this may be a year or two years before your child is due to start Year 7 (depending on the school).
Review – Term 1-2 (Mar-May): During Term 1 and Term 2, applications are evaluated by each school in accordance with our enrolment policy.
Interview – Early Term 2 (May): Generally held in early Term 2, interviews are a chance for you and your child to meet with school leadership and get to know one another before a final decision is made regarding your child’s application.
Outcome – Late Term 2 (Jun-Jul): In Week 9 of Term 2, the school will communicate the outcome of your child’s application to you via email.
