Enrolment process

Enrolments

OVERVIEW

Every school will have their individual enrolment process. For the shortlisted schools you are considering for your child, we recommend that you reach out to them to find out their individual process.

At Caroline Chisholm Catholic College we have a few options:

enrolling students in Year 7 within the cut-off date
enrolling students in Years 8 – 12, or Year 7 after the cut-off date
enrolling International students (click here to learn more)

Enrolling Students in Year 7.

It is vital to apply for Year 7 when your child is in Grade 5. Applications for Year 7 close mid-August each year. Please note that enrolments for Year 7 are processed by the College when your child is in Grade 5, and not prior. You will need to wait until your child is in Grade 5 to apply at our school.
