Enrolment Policy and Procedure

St Stephen’s Catholic College is a family of faith which is committed to working in partnership with students and parents.

• Parents of those students accepted into the college family are expected to understand, accept and support the Catholic Ethos of the college.
• Evangelisation through witness and example will occur.
• There is an inclusive enrolment policy to cater for students with medical conditions and / or disabilities.
• A large percentage of the college community will be Catholic to enable the growth of all in the Catholic Faith.
• Parents should be fully conversant with the Mission Statement of the college.
• The Enrolment Handbook reminds parents at enrolment that the right of the student to have a place in our college confers an equal right on the college authority to receive the financial support of parents by way of payment of fees.
• No student will be deprived of a Catholic Education because of the genuine financial difficulties of his or her family.
• All students will participate in the Religious Education, Liturgical, Retreat/Camps, Community and Activities programs of the college.
