Entry Criteria
Entry Criteria
The first step to enrolment is to phone the school office on 07 8714669.
As a Catholic integrated school, the school’s Integration Agreement stipulates a dual enrolment system :
Preference (where students or their families have an established connection with the Catholic Church) and
Non Preference (where there is no such connection).
Preference Entry
To gain Preference Entry to our school you must meet one of the following criteria, set down by the NZ Catholic Bishops:
5.1 Your child is a baptised Catholic
5.2 Your child has a sibling who is a baptised Catholic
5.3 Your child has a parent who is baptised Catholic
5.4 Your child has a significant family member who is a member of our local parish
5.5 Your child is preparing for baptism into the Catholic Faith
It is the Parish Priest who grants Preference entry. Appointments to meet with our Parish Priest can be made through the school office.
Non-Preference Entry
Our Integration Agreement with the Government allows us to have 10% of our roll as Non-Preference enrolments. This means we are allowed to have 29 students on our roll who do not have links to the Catholic Faith.
Non-preference families are still expected to uphold and support our school's special Catholic character.

Costs
Costs
As a State Integrated school, we are partly funded by the Government and partly funded by the Diocese. The Diocese charges an ‘Attendance Due.’ These are fees (not donations) charged by the Diocese to assist with the upkeep of buildings and the support of our special Catholic character.
The Attendance Dues Rates are currently $124.00 per term, per child ($496.00 per year) and Catholic Character Fees are $50.00 per annum and are paid directly to the Diocese.
As a school we have opted in to the Labour Government's Donations Scheme which means that we do not ask for any donations, except for in the case of overnight camps.
