APPLICATIONS FOR ENROLMENTS

Parents/Guardians can submit an enrolment application for their child at any time. Please note your application is an expression of interest only. It does not guarantee your child a place at Mount St Patrick College.

Our main intake is for Year 7 of the following school year. Enrolment applications for Year 7 will be reviewed after the application closing date, which usually occurs at the beginning of Term 2 of the year prior to commencement. Please be aware applications submitted more than one year prior to the year of commencement will not be reviewed until application closing date has passed. Submitting an application for a Year 7 intake years in advance will not give your child any advantage.

Mount St Patrick College considers applications for other year levels, provided we have positions available. Enrolment applications for students currently in Years 7-12 may not be reviewed until a position is likely to become available.

As a Catholic School, our Catholic faith underpins all our actions. Mount St Patrick College promotes a learning community where all aspects of education are nourished. We strongly value the notion of partnership in education, encouraging families to actively work with the school to meet every child’s needs.

Catholic secondary schools in the Diocese of Lismore use the following order of priority for enrolment:

1. Children of families of Lismore Diocesan Catholic primary schools within the parish/region (nominally, this enrolment would have been for a minimum four-year period). Also, children of Catholic families who have not attended a Catholic primary school, whose family is active within the parish.
2. Children of families who currently have or have had siblings within the school (including children of employees of the Diocese of Lismore).
3. Children of families transferring from another Catholic school, first from within the Diocese of Lismore and then from other Catholic dioceses.
4. Children of Catholic families within the parish/region enrolled in a non-Catholic school.
5. Children recommended for consideration by the Parish Priest.
6. Children of other-than-Catholic families who attend other schools and are open to and supportive of the spiritual and religious possibilities offered by a Catholic school.
