Enrolment Criteria

Sacred Heart College Kyneton has an agreed order of priority for enrolment offers. This order of priority reflects that published by Melbourne Archdiocesan Catholic schools.

1. Catholic children who are residents of a designated priority parish and have attended a Catholic primary school in one of those parishes
2. Siblings of children already enrolled in the school
3. Catholic children who are residents of a designated priority parish and have not attended a Catholic primary school
4. Catholic children from other parishes (for pastoral reasons)
5. Children from non-Catholic Eastern churches (i.e. Greek Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox and other Orthodox) who have attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish
6. Children from non-Catholic Eastern churches (i.e. Greek Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox and other Orthodox) who have not attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish
7. Other Christian children who have attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish
8. Other Christian children who have not attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish
9. Non-Christian children who have attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish
10. Non-Christian children who have not attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish.

Local pastoral discretion is an important element of decision-making with regard to enrolment at Sacred Heart College. While the first priority of the Principal is to enrol the children of Catholic parents/guardians/carers, pastoral discretion may be exercised in enrolment decisions where deemed appropriate, ensuring transparency and equity.

We are not registered with the CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students) so are unable to enrol international students on a student visa.
