The Interview Process
Applications are taken for our 3 Year Old Kindergarten program will not require an interview. If a place is available in our program a letter of offer will be sent.
Applications taken for our 4 Year Old Kindergarten program will require an interview. Enrolment interviews take place with the Principal, children are expected to attend the interview. During the interview with the Principal
-
- The Catholic /religious focus and priority of the school is outlined.
- The learning/social and any specials needs of the child/ren are discussed.
- Parents/guardians must be prepared to accept the conditions of enrolment fully in respect to each and every child.
Following this interview an offer of enrolment may be made to your child. If this offer is accepted by you a non-refundable payment of $250 per child will be required. This payment will then be credited to your first fee statement.
Enrolment does not automatically follow as a result of an application. Because there are limits to class sizes, children may have to be placed on waiting lists.
Each application for enrolment will be considered individually. The final decision on acceptance is at the discretion of the Principal. This policy is reviewed from time to time to reflect the directions of the Archbishop/Catholic Education Office.
