In Term 2 of each year, prospective Foundation Parents for the following year are invited to attend our school tours of St. Joseph’s Primary School. This is an opportunity for parents to find out about our culture, discover our high quality educational facilities and educational programs. Parents will be able to ask questions and collect an enrolment package during Inquiry Tours. 

In 2024 the Enrolment Enquiry Tours are:

Tuesday 4th June 9:30am - 10:30am and 5:30pm - 6:30pm

Wednesday 5th June 9:30am - 10:30am and 5:30pm - 6:30pm

1. Parents Submit Online Enrolment Application

Parents who are interested in enrolling their child at St. Joseph’s complete an expression of interest Application For Enrolment within the online package. The online enrolment process is a seamless process that supports the family to complete all required information and the upload of documentation from the initial application to admission. The school will contact parents who submit applications to arrange an interview time.

2. Enrolment Interviews 

Each family and their child will have an interview with the Principal to discuss the interests and needs of the child, the importance of partnership between the family and the school and the significant aspects of attending a Catholic school. 

3. Acceptance of Enrolment and Enrolment Package

After all enrolment interviews have been completed an email will be sent to families to explain the outcome of the enrolment interview. Those accepted for enrolment will receive an email from the school which directs them to complete the enrolment process online. For any applicants who are unsuccessful the Principal/Deputy Principal will contact the family via phone to discuss the rationale behind the decision which will be followed by an email confirming these details. 

4. Foundation Transition Days

Foundation staff and students visit the kindergartens in Term Three each year to read stories, sing songs and talk to the children about St Joseph’s and starting school.

Transition days are held over three Fridays in October-November each year, for children who are enrolled for the following year. This is an opportunity for your child to further experience school life at different times of the day. Parents are notified of the dates and times closer to the event. For 2024 the Transition Days are as follows:

• Friday 8th November, 2024 (9:00am - 11am)

• Friday 15th November, 2024 (9:00am - 11am)

• Friday 22nd November, 2024 (9:00am - 11am)

Our Grade 6 students have opportunities to visit FCJ during the year for activities in preparation for Year 7. Additional transition days are offered for vulnerable students or students who feel they require it.
