Is your child starting school next year or changing schools?
Have you considered St Joseph’s Korumburra…..
Here are some of the common questions answered…….
Most of our families find St Joseph’s to be an affordable option. Many people are pleasantly surprised that the cost of a Catholic school is much less than a private or independent school. In fact we find that if a family can afford kindergarten fees you can afford our school fees! Having said that there are always options available! We have flexible payment plans, which we can tailor to suit your needs, and automatic fee discounts for holders of a means tested health care card.
No, our school has a number of students from non-Catholic backgrounds and each new enrolment is assessed based on enrolment criteria and places available.
The short answer is NO. Anyone can enrol! Only if we reach maximum enrolment numbers will we implement an enrolment priority system for potential enrolments with preference going to siblings of already enrolled students and then Catholic families within our Parish. St Joseph’s is open to anyone who would like to enrol and who supports our ethos.
Enrolments can be taken at any time of the year. The school generally advertises Foundation (Prep) enrolments during Term 2 ready for the next year. If transferring from another school during the school year it is best to call the school and make an appointment to speak to the Principal. She will be able to help you decide on the best time to enrol your child to ensure a smooth transition process. Tours and a conversation with our Principal can be arranged at anytime so why not contact us today!
