Enrolment Information

We welcome enrolments for all year levels and invite you to have a conversation with our Enrolment Officer to see how we may support your child. Enrolments for Reception 2028 and beyond are open.

McAuley Community School supports the enrolment pathways of the South West Region. Understanding the importance of choosing the right school for each child, we are happy to provide families with the following criteria that we use to guide our decisions regarding enrolment priorities in the following order:

1. Students with siblings currently enrolled at McAuley Community School
2. Students from Catholic families within the Brighton Parish
3. Students from Catholic families
4. Students from Alive Catholic Early Learning Centre
5. Students from other Christian denominations
6. Parents or caregivers seeking a Christian education for their child

Meetings for 2026 enrolments are being held in Term Two 2025.   Once 2026 is finalised, then meetings will commence for 2027 enrolments later this year. 

These meetings provide us with an opportunity to discuss your application in person and meet your son or daughter to discover more about them as an individual. It is also an opportunity for families to learn more about McAuley Community School as a place to thrive.

We request families attend a Principal's Tour before the enrolment meeting for a more engaging conversation about your child's learning environment. Currently registrations for a Principal's Tour are paused due to significant interest and further information will be available on our Book-a-Tour page.

An enrolment application may be submitted by email prior to visiting McAuley on a Principal's Tour.

Following the enrolment meeting and once all applications have been considered, letters of offer will be sent to families. If we are not able to offer your child a place at McAuley Community School, you will receive a letter inviting you to remain in our database until we are able to make subsequent offers or enrolments are finalised.

We are here to support you during the enrolment process to make it a positive and engaging experience for your family.

If you have any questions or require support with your application, please contact our Enrolment Officer, Hebbie Clarke for a confidential conversation:
