Enrolment

Enrolment Policy

Xavier College follows the enrolment policy set by the Parramatta Diocese Catholic Education Office. Enrolment preference is given, in order, to:

• children of Catholic families who live in the local parish
• children of Catholic families from other parishes
• non-Catholics

Catholic schools have a strong religious dimension and people of other faiths who wish to enrol in Catholic schools should be willing to participate in the religious activities of the school.

Non-Catholic students are accepted into Xavier College in accordance with its enrolment vacancies.

Siblings of children already enrolled in the school are considered by the same criteria above. However, within each of these categories, a sibling of a child already enrolled will have preference over an applicant who does not have a sibling enrolled in the school.

Special consideration may be given to children of non-Catholic families for:

• compassionate reasons
• family situations requiring a special pastoral approach
• parents’ intentions regarding their own and their children’s faith development
• family circumstances involving family relocation
• enrolment of siblings
