Enrolling at St Patrick's

Foundation enrolments at St. Patrick's Primary School will be accepted in the year prior to commencement. We endeavour to have enrolments finalised by mid-year but if there are vacancies, enrolments will be considered later in the year. Parents of new applicants are required to complete the Enrolment Enquiry Form.

Families wishing to join our community in all other year levels, please complete the Enrolment Enquiry Form and we will contact you with more information.
At St Patrick's Catholic Primary School the basic requirements of the children seeking admissions are:
  • That the children are baptized Catholic and a copy of the certificate is supplied.
  • That the children are 5 years of age or will turn 5 years of age by 30th April in
    their Prep year and that proof of this is supplied.
  • That the children will participate fully in the life of the school.
  • That we provide some opportunities for students to be educated at St Patrick's
    who are not baptised or are of another Faith.
  • That the obligation to meet the fee structure is agreed upon.
  • The individual needs of students shall be taken into account on an individual basis.
