School Enrolment Guidelines
St Michael's is an integrated Catholic School. Enrolment is regulated by
norms found in the Integration Agreement for Catholic Schools and the
Enrolment policy of St Michael's School. Note: "Parent" includes
"Guardian" or "Caregiver".
The system of preference is as follows:
Preference of Enrolment
The Integration Agreement for Catholic Schools states:
"Preference of enrolment at the school under Section 29(1) of the
Private Schools conditional Integration Act 1975 shall be given only to
those children whose parents have an established particular or general
religious connection with the special character of the school and the
controlling authority shall not give preference of enrolment to the
parents of any child unless the Proprietor has stated that those parents
have established such a particular or general religious connection with
the special character of the school."
This normally means that at least one parent is baptised as a Catholic,
that the child has also been baptised in the Catholic Church and that
there is some evidence of recent identification with the Catholic
Community, usually through the Catholic Parish.
Non-Preference Enrolment
The school is allowed to enroll non-preference children children up to 5%
of its maximum roll. Non-preference children will only be accepted if
there are no preference children seeking enrolment.
For those requesting preference enrolment, all applicants are to be
interviewed by the Parish Priest. If preference is given, the parents
receive a "New Zealand
Catholic Bishops' Conference" Card, which certifies that the
parents are eligible to have preference enrolment for their children in a
Catholic Integrated School.
Here at St Michael's, we are anxious to establish a close bond between
families, school, and parish. The family seeking enrolment at St Michael's
must have an established connection with their Parish and normally live
within the boundaries of St
Michael's Parish, Remuera or St John's Parish, Parnell.
