Clairvaux MacKillop College

Enrolments

To enrol your child in our College, you will need to submit an enrolment application and we would encourage you to do this as early as possible. Our​ College accepts applications from students currently in Year 3 onwards, for entry into Year 7.​​​​​

This will help to ensure you are offered an enrolment interview to discuss your child’s educational needs. Following this interview and based on availability of places, your child may be offered a place at Clairvaux MacKillop College.

If your child is offered a place, you will be invited to attend the parent information evening held in September. Orientation for students will be held in late October for new students confirmed to start at the College the following year.​

If you do have questions about enrolment, criteria, fees or places at Clairvaux MacKillop College, please contact our Enrolments Registrar, Fay Gomes on 3347 9223 or enrolments@cvxmck.edu.au

Enrolment Application and Support Procedure (EASP) for students requiring supported enrolment:​

This process seeks to reveal and clarify the needs of the student and to identify the educational adjustments required to access learning. Adjustments are made for students with a disability to enable them to access the curriculum, achieve curriculum outcomes and participate in school life on the same basis as their peers. An adjustment is any change made to help a student participate at school, learn, and be comfortable and safe.

The Enrolment Application and Support Procedure may also be used to support the enrolment of students who have been identified as gifted. Further information on supported enrolment at Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) schools is available on the BCE website via the link: Students & Parents

If you have any questions or need assistance with the enrolment of your child, please do not hesitate to contact the Enrolment Registrar on 3347 ​​9223 or email: enrolments@cvxmck.edu.au​
