ENROLMENT
POLICY
In making the decision to apply for
admission at Kolbe Catholic College, we
ask that parents consider their responsibility
in entering a contract with the College
to work in partnership to realise those
aims and ideals of a Catholic Christian
education.
At the discretion of the Principal,
the following criteria are used to select
those students for whom an offer of enrolment
will be made:
- Catholic students from Catholic Primary
School with a Parish Priest reference
- Catholic students from non-Catholic
Primary Schools with a Parish Priest
reference
- Other Catholic students from Catholic
Primary Schools
- Other Catholic students from non-Catholic
Primary Schools
- Students with siblings currently
enrolled and whose families are supportive
of the College
- Non-Catholic students from Catholic
Primary Schools
- Non-Catholic students of other Christian
denominations whose families are active
members of their particular Church
Community
- Students whose families indicate
a genuine support of Christian principles,
and who are prepared to accept and
give positive support to the Christian
ethos of
the College
- Students whose families signal their
interest and intention by lodging an
early Application with the College
Every effort will be made to accept
sons and daughters of ex-students of the
College, given the guiding principles
of the Enrolment Policy.
Fundamental to Enrolment is:
- A student who is keen to maximise
the opportunities offered
- A family who is keen to support the
policies and the ethos of the school
in the education of their child
Enrolments are dependant upon
vacancies and the following conditions:
-
Families complete an Application
for Enrolment Form and provide this
and a reference from a Parish Priest
to the College

Due dates for Applications, particularly
for Year 7 entry, are adhered to
-
Acceptance and participation in the
Religious Education lessons and the
religious practices of the College
-

-
The signature of parents on the Admission
Form is taken as acceptance of school
policies, such as payment of fees,
school regulations, parental involvement,
and students meeting attendance and
academic requirements of the College
-
Payment of the Admission Fee
The College applies
the policies laid down by the Catholic
Education Office with regard to students
with disabilities, the gifted and talented
and indigenous Australians.
It is a condition
of enrolment that one full term's notice
should be given in writing to the Principal by the parent/guardian, prior to
the withdrawal of a student. In default of
such notice, one quarter of the annual

commencement will incur an administration
fee of $100.
