Enrolment Process

All applications for enrolment will be accepted for assessment by our Principal. The acceptance of an application form does not guarantee an enrolment interview or subsequent offer of enrolment. If a place is available, you will be invited to attend an interview and school tour with the Principal or member of our Leadership Team.

Orana Catholic Primary School will contact applicant families for interviews as per the following:

  • If you are applying for a Pre-Kindergarten / Kindergarten place, the school will contact you regarding an interview approximately 18 months before commencement.
  • If you are applying for Pre-primary to Year 1 positions, you will be contacted upon receipt of your application.

 

Please note that the interview is for the ‘family’ and at least one parent and the child applying for a place must be present. An application fee of $50 per family is payable at this time.

Families will be asked to provide:

  • Completed Application Form
  • Student Information / Pre-Interview Questions Form
  • Birth Certificate
  • Australian Immunisation Register History Statement (Current)
  • Copy of Passport and Visa Information (if parents and/or child not born in Australia)

**Please note that enrolments must comply with government immunisation requirements. More information about these requirements is available from the Healthy WA website.

A decision regarding the application will be made by the Principal following the interview and the family will be informed of the outcome via a letter of offer. Families are asked to return the acceptance form and pay the $200 Enrolment Deposit.
