PREFERENCE OF ENROLMENT
The College, in its Integration Agreement with the Government, has two categories of enrolment:
Preference enrolment is given to those students whose parents have established a particular or general religious connection with the Special Character of the College. The Preference Certificate is enclosed in this pack or available from any Catholic Priest of the parishes that the College serves.
A non-preference enrolment may be granted to those who cannot produce a Preference Certificate. The College has a limited number places for non-preference students. Non-preference places are allocated at the discretion of the Principal.
