Does my child need to be Catholic to attend a Catholic school?
No. The Catholic school is open to all who want to share its educational goal, inspired by Christian principles. For more information, view “Does my child need to be Catholic to go to a Catholic school?“
How old does my child need to be to enrol in Kindergarten?
Children who turn five years old on or before May 31 are eligible for enrolment into Kindergarten for that year.
Enrolment Process and Policy
In recent years the Catholic Diocese has received unprecedented demand for school entry across our Diocesan Schools. This Demand, combined with the desire to offer families a pathway for their children from kindergarten through to Year 12, has led to the Diocese revising and adjusting the Enrolment Policy.
The Policy sets out the prioritisation for enrolment in schools and applies to all students seeking enrolment at a Catholic School in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle (CDMN).
