Prep 2024 enrolments are now closed
Thank you for your interest in Holy Cross. Prep 2024 enrolments are now closed. Results are estimated to be notified around July 2023.
Choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision. At Holy Cross Catholic Primary School we want to help you with this important next step in your child’s learning journey.
The choice of school for your child’s education is of great importance. Tours with the Principal are available when advertised or upon negotiated request. Meeting our students and our staff, and seeing how they engage in their learning at Holy Cross is the first step in determining if our school will be the school for your child and your family.
Priority of enrolment will be given to Catholic children of families resident within the school catchment zone. Non-Catholic children who live within the catchment zone may be enrolled at the discretion of the Principal, and only when their enrolment would not exclude Catholic children. All parents are required to give an undertaking that the nature, life and special identity of the school will be respected.
The order of priority for MACS primary schools is:
- Catholic children who are residents of the parish
- siblings of children already enrolled in the school
- Catholic children who are not residents of the parish but are recognised as parishioners by the parish priest
- Catholic children from other parishes (for pastoral reasons)
- children from non-Catholic Eastern churches (i.e. Greek Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox and other Orthodox) who are residents of the
parish - children from non-Catholic Eastern churches (i.e. Greek Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox and Other Orthodox) who reside outside the
parish - other Christian children who are residents of the parish
- other Christian children who reside outside the parish
- non-Christian children who are residents of the parish
- non-Christian children who reside outside the parish.
