Enrolment Procedure

If you are interested in enrolling your child at St Brigid's School please make an appointment with the Parish Priest to receive a preference form. This will indicate if your child will qualify for preference of enrolment or open (non-preference) enrolment.

We also invite you to phone the office and make a time to visit and meet with the Principal.

 

State integrated schools select preference students on the following grounds:

• The child has been baptised or is being prepared for baptism in the Catholic Church. or

• The child’s parents/guardians have already allowed one or more of its siblings to be baptised in the Catholic faith. or

• At least one parent/guardian is a Catholic, and although their child has not yet been baptised, the child’s participation in the life of the school could lead to the  parents having the child baptised. or

• With the agreement of the child’s parents/guardians, a grandparent or other significant adult in the child’s life, such as an aunt, uncle or godparent, undertakes to support the child’s formation in the faith and practices of the Catholic Church. or

• One or both of a child’s non-Catholic parents/guardians is preparing to become a Catholic.

​

State integrated schools have places for non-preference students.

• St Brigid's has a maximum of seven open enrolment places.

​​

Non-Preference places criteria.

• The applicants accept that they will be attending a school of Special Character and that their place in the school is conditional on their participation in the programme.

• The applicants accept that they will be required to pay Attendance Dues as set by the Proprietor and these are not voluntary. 

​

Non-Preference criteria that apply to this school.

• The siblings of non-preference students already in the school.

• Siblings of former non-preference students.

• The children of staff or Board members who seek to enrol their children.

• Non-preference students coming from other integrated school with the same special character.

• Children who live within one kilometre of St Brigid's and who want to participate in the special character programme of the school.

​

Non-preference students who cannot enrol immediately may choose to be placed on a waiting list. Students on this list are wait listed by date and number and will be contacted if places become available. At the end of the calendar year, the list is revised.
