Enrolment - Student Enrolment Processes

St Francis de Sales Regional College seeks to provide its students with an education aimed at developing the physical, intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual and psychological potential of each child. This education takes place in an environment formed by Gospel values and the teachings of the Catholic Church. The College recognizes the Church’s particular mission to those in greatest need.

In accordance with the general principles set by the Wagga Wagga Diocesan Catholic Education Commission, the following criteria for the acceptance into the College have been determined:

Priorities:

1. Baptised Catholic children of regularly worshipping Catholic families with strong demonstrable links to the designated Catholic parish or parishes. For secondary colleges, students currently enrolled in CEDWW Primary schools receive priority for enrolment in a secondary college.

2. Siblings of children already attending the school whose families have demonstrated ongoing support for the ethos and values of the Catholic Church.

3. Children of families who have ‘special pastoral circumstances’ as assessed by the Enrolment Committee or, where appropriate, the school Principal and/or the parish priest in conjunction with the Principal.

4. Children of Catholic families not covered above, or who are outside the local designated Catholic parish.

5. Children of regularly worshipping families from other Christian denominations.

6. Children of families from other faith traditions who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church.
