Catholic schools au - enrolment advice?
I have an interview next week for my daughter at the catholic high school that i went to.
I was baptised Catholic but I never had my children baptised as in Uk we never really lived near a catholic church and I have pretty much stopped practicing. Anyway, I am just wondering how this interview will go with me being an exstudent and all,, I'm worried that I will be interrogated about why the kids arent catholic etc... So can anyone tell me what they ask at these interviews??? There seems to be a space for her so its all down to us I guess. |

My daughter would not cope with a state school here, certainly not the one in our zone, I can't afford private and I know my daughter will do much better at an all girls school - she was in an all girls in he UK.

In Victoria Catholic schools have to take a certain percentage of non-Catholics. Not sure about N.S.W. I am not sure what they will ask in the interview as it is probably different in each school and depends on the principal and Priest of the parish.

Tell them that you want education and no brainwashing: their reaction might say a lot!

Im Catholic , but my daughter was never baptised. She went to a Catholic school in the UK. She starts High school next year and wants to go to the Catholic high school nearby.
Had the interview last October and was told she had a good chance of getting in, got the letter a couple of months ago that it was over subscribed and Catholics had priority so she didnt get a place. Now in the process of getting her baptised ( her choice BTW ) Nicky :) |

My son goes to catholic primary school & he wasn’t baptise as one, I think as long as you can afford the fees in this day and age they don’t care if you are practising or not in IMO.
The state school he went to was so bad that we had no choice but to send him into one, but you realise you still have to pay for it. It’s not as expensive as private school but a hell lot of more than a state school, my eldest 2 go into state high school, & they are very happy. thumbsup: |
