Year 7 Enrolment Criteria
All Year 7 applications are accepted up to the closing date for applications, which is in the student’s Grade 5 year at primary school; the date of the application lodgement is not a determining factor in an offer of a place.
Applications are then prioritised on the following basis and in the following order:
- Sisters of children attending the College
- Daughters of Past Students
- Daughters of Catholic families
- Daughters of other Christian denominations
- Daughters from other religious traditions
In the event that the number of applications from Catholic families exceed the number of available places, then priority is given to baptised Catholic students who are enrolled in local parish schools.
