Enrolments

Choosing the right education for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. St Columba’s Catholic Primary offers a unique educational experience that forms each student as a person spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally and physically.

St Columba’s Catholic Primary School works closely with St Patrick’s Parish, Wellington, to enhance students' capacity to make sense of their world, make judgements, and recognise the uniqueness of others within a faith community.

Our school recognise the fact that each child is unique and has a right to develop individual talents, especially in developing meaningful relationships with God and with fellow human beings.

Being a small school, we consider ourselves an extension of the family unit, a place where our students can feel safe and comfortable. A place where pupils, staff and parents work and cooperate on a caring and Christian level and each individual is considered a worthwhile and talented person who has something to offer our community.

The current enrolment at our school is approximately 32 students. Some families may feel that the financial costs to school may be too great. We wish to emphasise that our school will work with families to make Catholic schooling available to those who genuinely desire it.

Kindergarten

Enrolment application packages for Kindergarten are available from this website (see link below) or the school office from March through to May of the year prior to starting school. Forms in this package need to be completed and returned by the end of May.

An important part of the enrolment process is an interview between prospective parents, the child and the Principal. The child will complete a screening assessment with the Support Teacher. This screening helps us ascertain the child's readiness to begin school.

Years 1 - 6

The enrolment application package for other years may be obtained at any time. An important part of the enrolment process is an interview between prospective parents, the child and the Principal, which will occur once the enrolment forms have been submitted.
