How to get a place
Catholic schools run their own enrolment, usually through the school or its Catholic education office, and many give priority to Catholic families and to siblings. Most invite families to an open day or a tour, then ask for an application form and fee; popular schools fill their entry years (often Reception and Year 7) a year or more ahead. Ask Samaritan College about places for your child’s year level.
