Dear Parents/Carers/Guardians of Year 5 students

The partnership between Parish Primary Schools and local Catholic secondary schools such as Sacred Heart College is an important one.  We share the same foundations in faith and recognise parents as first educators of children.  

I am writing today as you make the fundamentally important decision of which secondary school is right for your daughter or son.  I am aware that there are local independent schools that are asking for early enrolment commitments to guarantee places at Year 7.  Given that, it is important to note that the criteria for enrolment at Sacred Heart College (and all Catholic secondary schools in the Melbourne Archdiocese) gives priority to students who are enrolled in a Parish Primary School.  Students who have received the sacraments have a higher priority, but we expect all students who submit an enrolment application by the closing date (Friday 26 July) and are enrolled at a Parish Primary School will be offered an enrolment place for Year 7 2026.

If you have any questions on this, please contact Mrs Denise Lawrence (Sacred Heart College Registrar) on 54211200 or dlawrence@shckyneton.catholic.edu.au.
