R-12 College Enrolment Criteria

Decisions pertaining to enrolments are ultimately at the discretion of the Principal and may be based on compassionate grounds.

We encourage you to complete your enrolment application as early as possible, and prior to any final lodgement closing dates listed.

Enrolment Criteria:

1. Siblings of children attending Nazareth
2. Children attending Catholic Primary Schools (Year 7 entry only)
3. Children who are baptised into the Catholic faith
4. Children currently attending the Early Childhood Centre (Reception entry only)
5. Children of past students of Nazareth (est 2007)
6. Families seeking a Catholic education for their children.

Sibling Enrolment:

It is imperative that an enrolment application is completed for each child in your family, including siblings of those students already attending Nazareth. Placement is not guaranteed if you do not apply by the final date for lodgement.

Please note: Nazareth R-6 students do not need to re-enrol for Year 7 (enrolments across our College are continuous from Reception to Year 12). 

Please ensure you have read all the important information on this page (below), prior to enrolling.

In the Primary Years, our main enrolment point is at Reception.

All enrolment applications are assessed by the Enrolment Criteria listed and the date lodged, noting that our current enrolment applications exceed the number of places available. Early lodgement is highly recommended.

Offers for applications from families seeking enrolments in other year levels, as well as applications lodged after the application closing date, will be made at the discretion of the Principal if and when positions become available. We encourage you to contact our Registrar team if you wish to discuss enrolments outside of Reception.
