Parents are the first educators of their children and have the obligation and the right to ensure an adequate education, consistent with their beliefs and values.
“Catholic education is based on an educational philosophy in which faith, culture and life are brought into harmony. Of its nature, the Catholic school guides men and women to achieve human and Christian perfection and helps them to become mature in their faith,”1. Thus the Catholic school is not simply an alternative to a Government school. It is different because it is Catholic: it must offer the authentic Catholic vision. “A Catholic school cannot relinquish its own freedom to proclaim the Gospel and to offer a formation based on the values to be found in a Christian education. This is its right and its duty.”2. It is to be expected that Catholic schools implement enrolment policies that ensure a high proportion of Catholic students in the school.
Age
Children must turn 5 years of age before the 30th April in the year they are to commence school.
