How to Enrol

An education at St Bernadette's Primary, will give your child the best opportunity to develop academically, spiritually and socially, and in partnership with Catholic education.


It involves a commitment to work with the school and support the philosophy, values and aims of Catholic education.

Specifically, joining this community means parents/carers and students are committed to:

  • the development of quality relationships with all members of the school community
  • the Catholic identity and evangelising mission of the school within the Church
  • supporting the school in upholding school rules and policies
  • involvement by parents and caregivers, where possible, in the life of the school.

We encourage parents to organise a time to tour our school, meet our staff and see our learning in action. There are also a number of organised events, such as Open Days, which will also help future parents to get a 'feel' for our school.
