Principles
The Parish Primary Schools Enrolment Policy is consistent with the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) Policy 2.4 Enrolment for Schools in the Archdiocese of Melbourne.
Rationale
Our Parish Catholic schools have been established primarily for Catholic children. We are open and welcoming to all Catholic students.
As the first educators of their children parents are encouraged to enter into partnership with our Parish schools to promote and support their child’s education. We strive for excellence in student learning, their wellbeing and spiritual growth.
As a Catholic primary school we offer a broad comprehensive curriculum with an authentic Catholic understanding of Christ and his teaching, as well as a lived appreciation of membership of the Catholic Church.
Our Catholic schools are an integral part of the mission of the church. We ensure an authentic Catholic identity and the Policy is reflective of the guidelines approved by the Archbishop of Melbourne.
Enrolment Policy
Holy Trinity Catholic Primary School, in the Sunbury Parish exists to enable the Catholic Church to carry out its responsibility to provide for the baptised Catholic child, a formation in faith, hence priority in enrolment is given to Catholic children.
The enrolment of non-catholic children who reside in the school catchment area may take place only when their enrolment would not exclude Catholic children from the school.
Enrolments into Holy Trinity Catholic Primary School is taken in the following priority:
- Catholic children who reside within the Parish catchment areas.
- Catholic children from other parishes (for pastoral reasons).
- Children from non-Catholic Eastern churches who reside within the Parish catchment areas.
- Other Christian children who reside within the Parish catchment areas.
- Non-Christian children who reside within the Parish catchment areas.
The Parish Priest will consider enrolments from outside the above priority list. (Based on Pastoral reasons).
NOTE: Siblings of children already in the school and Catholic children/families have high priority with regards to enrolment.
