ENROLMENT

At New Brighton Catholic School, we accept enrolments from Year 1 to Year 8 (5-13 years old).  Prospective new families are encouraged to make an appointment to meet with the Principal and have a tour of the school. For Preference enrolments please pre-enrol using the online enrolment form.  Once you have completed the form we will be in touch with further information and next steps.

To proceed with the enrolment process, please note the following steps depending on your enrolment preference as a Catholic School has 2 types of enrolments: Preference and Non- Preference

For Preference Students:
Families seeking enrolment under preference (having commitment to the Catholic faith, either by child being baptised Catholic or a family member) must obtain a Preference of Enrolment Certificate signed by the Parish Priest of your parish. This certificate confirms a connection with the Catholic Church. You can find detailed information on how to obtain this certificate by visiting our parish website here. 

A ‘Preference Certificate’ is a special form signed by the School's Parish Priest or nominated persons.According to the 1975 Integration Act Catholic schools can only enrol a maximum of 5% ‘non-preference’ students.  There are very limited places available for ‘non-preference’ students, so if you are not able to meet the criteria for a preference place, you may apply to be on a ‘wait list’

For Non-Preference Students:If you are applying under non-preference, please contact the school office directly on 388-7982 to confirm whether we currently have space available for non-preference enrolments.

If you have any further questions or need assistance at any stage of the process, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to supporting you through the enrollment journey.

Thank you for considering New Brighton Catholic Primary School for your child's education.
