Do you have to be Catholic to enrol in a Catholic school?

No. St Mary’s College is open to all students and families who share our educational goals. In accordance with Catholic Education Western Australia’s enrolment policy, preference is given to students who are baptised Catholic and who live in the local parish and then to children of Catholic families from other parishes who wish to enrol. All families and their children, Catholic or non-Catholic, are invited to have a Catholic education, but must be willing to participate in the religious life and culture of the school. It is a requirement of students attending Catholic schools that they participate in the learning of the K-12 Religious Education program.
