Enrolment

Policy Guidelines

1. Purpose

a. To meet the Ministry of Education’s guidelines for integrated schools as well as providing guidelines for entry to St Michael’s Catholic school.

2. Guidelines

a. To give priority to those families that actively participate in the parish life of St Michael’s, Remuera or St John’s, Parnell and wish to have their children educated with the same Catholic values and within the same parish.
b. In the first instance, parents will need to obtain a “Preference of Enrolment” Certificate from the Parish Priest. This certificate will be issued based on the guidelines set by the NZ Catholic Bishops Conference – Preference Certificate Auckland Diocese.
c. Families will be notified by email as to whether a place is available. Families are expected to respond in writing to confirm acceptance of the place offered to complete the enrolment process.
d. A child that qualifies but cannot be placed due to a full roll may be put on a waiting list at the parents’ request. The waiting list will be regularly reviewed by the Principal.

Parents who would like to apply for enrolment for their child/ren are to print off the first three downloads and have them filled in along with their Parish Priest who will sign the Preference Certificate and allocate their child's/rens Preference criteria.
