Enrolment Priorities

Catholic Education Western Australia has an Executive Directive on Enrolment. This Directive contains a priority order that is used to select students for whom an offer of enrolment will be made. The priority order contains eight categories listed below. 

Due to the high demand for places at Sacred Heart College and the number of applications we receive from the below categories, we are often unable to consider non-Catholic applications until either later in the commencing year, or into later year groups.

1. Catholic students from CEWA schools with a Parish Priest reference.
2. Catholic students from non-Catholic schools with a Parish Priest reference.
3. Catholic students from Catholic schools.
4. Catholic students from non-Catholic schools.
5. Siblings of non-Catholic students.
6. Non-Catholic students from Catholic schools.
7. Non-Catholic students from other Christian denominations.
8. Other non-Catholic students. 

The College also includes the following priorities when making offers of enrolment.  

• Every effort is made to accept brothers and sisters of students currently enrolled, but no guarantee can be given.
• Every effort is made to accept children of College employees, but no guarantee can be given.
• Every effort is made to accept the children of Alumni, but no guarantee can be given. 

Please note that geographical proximity to the College and length of time the application has been submitted are not taken into consideration.
