Applications for all other grade levels may be accepted throughout the year pending availability.

Families are invited to meet with the Principal prior to any enrolment offers being made.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Children need to be 4 years of age by 1 January to commence Kinder. Children commencing Prep need to be 5 years of age by 1 January of the Prep year.

ORIENTATION

Pre-Kindergarten orientation sessions are held for students and their families in the November prior to commencing School the following year. The dates for these sessions are provided to families following confirmation of Kindergarten placements.

SCHOOL FEES

St Therese’s fees and levies are set annually. School fees and levies are necessary to supplement State and Commonwealth grants, provide sufficient funds to operate the school, and provide support for the educational environment and structure of the school.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

There may be some families who don’t enrol their children in Catholic schools because of concerns about the level of fees and levies charged.

Catholic schools are accessible to all families willing to support the Catholic ethos regardless of their personal, financial and pastoral circumstances. No child will be denied a place in a Catholic school because of financial hardship.

Families who are interested in Catholic education, and feel they could benefit from financial support, are encouraged to contact the School. All enquiries are managed sensitively and adhere to the privacy legislation.

CONTINUING YOUR CHILD'S CATHOLIC EDUCATION
