Enrolment Procedures
Enrolment Criteria
Most students are drawn from the parishes of Bateman, Brentwood, Willetton, Applecross, Riverton and Canning Vale. The College does accept applications outside of these areas, however, as there are more applicants than can be accommodated only a small number of students from other parishes are accepted.
For a student to be enrolled into Corpus Christi College the following criteria must be met:
Catholic Applicants:
The family of an applicant will be a bona fide parishioner of a Catholic parish. A current parish reference must be furnished upon request.
The family of an applicant will demonstrate some involvement in the life of the applicant’s current school.
The family of the applicant will agree to support the College Board and the staff in their efforts to ensure the best possible education for all students enrolled.
Non-Catholic Applicants:
The family of the applicant will fully support the Catholic ethos, practices and traditions of the College.
The family of the applicant will demonstrate some involvement in the life of the applicant’s current school.
The family of the applicant will agree to support the College Board and the staff in their efforts to ensure the best possible education for all students enrolled.
Enrolment Process
Application
Application for enrolment to the College must be made on an official Application for Enrolment form.
A separate application form is required for each child.
The application form is sent to the college with a non-refundable application fee of $75.00 per family. This fee covers administrative expenses and must be paid before the application can be placed on file.
Receipt of the application form is NOT an indication of a successful applicant.
Applications for Year 7 (whether siblings enrolled in the College or not) will be processed 18 months prior to the commencement at the College.
Prior to the due date of entry, parents and applicant child will be required to attend an interview.
Parish priests and principals of Catholic primary schools will be consulted about students from their parishes and schools who have applied for positions at the College.
Following the interviews, offers of placement are made in writing.
Acceptance of these offers is formalised by completing a “Confirmation of Enrolment Form” and returning it to the College with the established enrolment fee as set by the College Board from time to time. This amount is deducted from the first account raised.
Enrolment Priorities
Priority 1 Brothers / sisters of students currently enrolled where the enrolment criteria are met.
Priority 2 Children in practising Catholic families fully committed to the feeder parishes of Applecross, Bateman, Brentwood/Willetton and Riverton.
Priority 3 Children in practising Catholic families fully committed to the Canning Vale parish.
Priority 4 Children in practising Catholic families from other Catholic schools outside the feeder parishes.
Priority 5 Children in practising Catholic families from other schools
Priority 6 Children from Non-Catholic families
Where it is necessary to distinguish between applicants within a priority group when all criteria are met, the following priorities will be exercised:
• Length of demonstrated commitment to Catholic education.
• Date of receipt of application at the College.
(It should be noted by applicants for places in Year 8 that, because of the pressure for places, only those within the first two or three groups are usually considered for interview and enrolment.)
