We look forward to welcoming you to St Patrick’s
The Enrolment Policy for Parramatta Diocesan Catholic schools offers families greater choice by allowing them to apply for enrolment at a Catholic school anywhere in the Diocese.
Where places are limited, enrolment priority will be given to:
- Catholic children who live in the local parish and surrounding parishes; and
- Children of families who actively participate in the life of the school and local parish community.
Catholic schools have a strong religious dimension and people of other faiths who wish to enrol in Catholic schools should be willing to participate in the religious activities of the school.
While applications for all grades are taken at any time of the year, the main enrolment period for Kindergarten is between March and May in the year before the child will attend school.
New Kindergarten students will have orientation mornings in Term 4 the year before starting school to help them transition into school. Parents will also be invited to attend an orientation session in Term 4 for more information about the school and a chance to meet other parents.
Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision.
Why not arrange a school tour to view our facilities? Just contact our school by email or call (02) 8869 6000 weekdays between 8:30am and 3:30pm.
