Enrolments

St Vincent's College has developed policies and procedures to ensure the promotion of the educational mission of the College and to meet all legislative requirements.

ENROLMENT POLICY

Parents are the first educators of their children and have the obligation and the right to ensure an education for their children that is consistent with those rights and obligations, and with their beliefs and values.  In choosing St Vincent's College, parents are entitled to expect an education that will support their beliefs and values, and one that will foster the gifts and talents of their children.  They have a duty to cooperate with the College to ensure that their children experience a happy and productive education.
