Selection Criteria

As one of four primary schools in the Parish of St James, we welcome your enrolment enquiries for our school.Our school enrols students according to the priority for enrolment list, which is the same across all four parish primary schools.

The four parish primary schools are also zoned to ensure that children from across the parish have the ability to attend one of the schools.

Local pastoral discretion is an important element of decision-making regarding enrolment at St Francis of Assisi Primary School. While the priority of the principal is to enrol children of Catholic parents/guardians/carers, pastoral discretion may be exercised in enrolment decisions where deemed appropriate.

The order of priority for MACS primary schools is: 

1. Catholic children who are residents of the parish 

2. Siblings of children already enrolled in the school

3. Catholic children who are not residents of the parish but are recognised as parishioners by the parish priest

4. Catholic children from other parishes (for pastoral reasons) 

5. 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

6. 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 

7. Other Christian children who are residents of the parish 

8. Other Christian children who reside outside the parish

9. Non-Christian children who are residents of the parish
