St Aloysius' College

Policy

St Aloysius' College is a Jesuit school for boys providing in co-operation with families, a Catholic education which:

Proposes Christ as the model of human life
Pursues excellence in teaching and learning
Promotes lifelong learning and spiritual growth

Year 5 is the main intake year with smaller intakes in Years 3, 4, 7 and 11. Students are also admitted into other years if vacancies occur.

As St Aloysius' College is not a "full-feeing paying overseas students school", only applicants who are permanent residents of Australia, or whose families have a current Australian working visa (copy of passport must be submitted) are eligible to apply for admission to the College.

The College is selective in that the prospective students must fit comfortably into the academic system of teaching.

In addition to the academic ability of the student, the College seeks to enrol students:

who will be comfortable scholastically
whose homes have similar attitudes, values and priorities as the College
who will participate in extra-curricular activities
who will keep the College rules consistently and for the right motives

The acceptance of an application is at the discretion of the Rector.

Procedure

A non-refundable Application Fee is to be paid on application.
Applicants for entry to all years must sit an Entrance Examination.
Applicants will sit an examination in February of the year prior to desired entry. The examination is two years prior to entry for Year 7.
All applicants are notified by mail prior to the examination.
A signed Clergy reference forms part of the criteria for acceptance. This will be required at the time of examination.
Consideration will be given to brothers of boys in the school and to sons of Old Boys but enrolment is not automatic.
At the discretion of the Rector, applicants and their parents may be required to attend an interview.
A non-refundable application fee for $110 GST included, is to be paid on application.
An application can only be made for one year at a time. If you wish to change the proposed year of entry, please notify the Registrar in writing. If unsuccessful for any particular year, applicants may apply for a later year of entry, pay another application fee and sit another entrance examination.
If a place is offered, a non-refundable acceptance fee is paid to secure the place. This place cannot be deferred to another year.
Applications close in January prior to the year of desired entry and in January two years prior to the year of desired entry for Year 7.
All fees and charges are reviewed annually.
No negotiations with respect to admission will be entered into. Enrolment decisions are at the discretion of the Rector.
Application does not guarantee a place; it notifies the College of the family's interest.

The College reserves the right to change the Enrolment Policy and Procedure at its discretion.
