Enrolment Meetings

Meetings for 2026 enrolments are underway and during 2025 we will commence enrolment meetings for 2027.

These meetings provide us with an opportunity to discuss your application in person and meet your son or daughter to discover more about them as an individual. It is also an opportunity for families to learn more about McAuley Community School as a place to thrive.

We request families attend a Principal's Tour before the enrolment meeting for a more engaging conversation about your child's learning environment.

Offers of Enrolment

Following the enrolment meeting and once all applications have been considered, letters of offer will be sent to families. If we are not able to offer your child a place at McAuley Community School, you will receive a letter inviting you to remain in our database until we are able to make subsequent offers or enrolments are finalised.
