The following information is given to assist Parents/Caregivers seeking to gain Preference of enrolment at a Catholic School.
• In seeking Preference of Enrolment at a Catholic School you need to make a commitment to actively supporting your child in his/her faith formation and the practices of the Catholic Church.
• The Diocesan Preference Certificate needs to be signed by a Parish Priest or other authorised Agent of the Bishop.
• A new Preference Certificate is required for each child in the family.
• Preference Certificates are school specific, in that the name of the school the family intends to make an application for enrolment, must be specified on the Certificate.
• A new Preference Certificate is required for transfer to another school, e.g. from one primary school to another or from primary to secondary school.
• The school retains the Preference Certificate.
The Agent for determining Preference is the Parish Priest.
