Enrolment Information

Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision. Here at St Francis Catholic College, we strive for a safe and positive learning experience for your child to grow and achieve to the best of their ability.

Each year, we take applications for Kindergarten and Year 7 children looking for placement the following year. We also take applications from Catholic children in Year 5 for a place in Year 7 two years in advance. The 2026 enrolment process will then see your application reviewed, and if your application progresses, you will be communicated with to be involved in interviews that take place early in Term 2. Offers are made by the end of Term 2. Some families may be offered an option to go onto a second-round or waiting list. Interviews for 2027 will commence in Term 3.

WHEN TO APPLY

Kindergarten 2026, Year 7 2026, and Year 7 2027 have now closed.

Applications for Kindergarten 2027, Year 7 2027, and Year 7 2028 will open at the beginning of Term 1 2026.

Applications for Years 1 - 6 and 8 - 11 are available and welcome throughout the year for possible placement or waitlist. However, it is to be noted that most year groups are currently full. Applications may be added to the waiting list. We advise that if your child is in Years 5 or 6 you should apply for a Year 7 position. If you wish to be on the waiting list for Year 5 and 6, please contact the college.

Please ensure all the correct documentation is uploaded in a PDF/JPEG format.

Applications that are incorrect, or do not have all required documentation will be delayed.

Please ensure you attach all requested documents and reports noted in the SFCC Enrolment Checklist below.

While we appreciate every family situation is unique, where relevant, applications should include both parents.

St Francis is a school of choice in our local region. Given our popularity, we encourage you to ensure enrolments are submitted with every required item included, and we also recommend that you read the Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong Enrolment Policy (this document includes the guidelines we must follow when making enrolment decisions). Often it is advisable to apply to multiple schools in case your application is unsuccessful.
