Enrolment at OLMC is aligned with the Archdiocese of Sydney Enrolment Policy.

ENROLMENT PRIORITIES ENROLMENT POLICY (short version)
The Archdiocesan Enrolment Policy gives preference for enrolment according to the following guidelines:

1. Active Catholic families from the Parish;
2. Active Catholic families from other parishes who for special needs seek enrolment;
3. Catholic families from the Parish;
4. Catholic families from other Parishes again who for special reasons seek enrolment;
5. Other Christian denominations; and
6. Other Religions.

Once the official enrolment period closes 30 May each year no guarantee of enrolment of siblings (brothers and sisters) will be provided if formal application has NOT been lodged. (Due to Government and System restrictions we are not always able to accept overseas students)

Our Lady of Mt Carmel is now accepting enrolments for Kindergarten and for other grades for the 2009 school year. The school has adopted a generic enrolment application form established by the Archdiocese of Sydney. Enrolment forms may be accessed in three ways:

1. Make a request for an enrolment application form in person from the school office.
2. Contact the Enrolment Secretary by phone requesting a form be sent to you by post.
3. Access the enrolment form from the school website: www.olmcmtpritchard.catholic.edu.au

Parents may access a version of the Enrolment requirements as well as the current Parent Handbook from this website. An Information & Enrolment package will be available to enrolling families after a placement position has been offered to the family. Information will be regularly updated on the website as it becomes available. You may e-mail the school at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for all other queries or information.

The completed application form needs to be returned to the School Office accompanied by all relevant documentation:

• Birth Certificate
• Baptismal Certificate
• Citizenship documentation (where applicable)
• Most recent previous school reports and external test results (where applicable)
• Relevant Family Court Orders (where applicable)
• Relevant medical and / or special needs information (where applicable)
• Immunisation Certificate (primary school applications only)

NB: It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that all new Kinder students attend an accredited Pre-School with a full preparation for school program.

A non-refundable enrolment fee of $60 will be charged for each new enrolment K-6 from the beginning of 2008, when the application form is returned. This money will be used to formalize enrolment administration needs for your child during the enrolment process.
