Processing the Enrolment Form | Enrolment Interview
Once the application is received, you will be contacted regarding a possible enrolment interview. The interview is an important step in your son’s application. The interview is with a member of the Senior Leadership Team and is a time to ask any necessary questions. Parent partnership is an important aspect of our school and we expect the presence of both parents at this interview. Parents and students are expected to demonstrate a willingness and ability to support the Catholic Character of the College.
