Guest Suzanne Shaw Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hi, I have a 2 year old son and was thinking about putting his name down for either St Marks or St Stephens. However, we are not religious. Is he likely to get a place at either school? The house prices in the areas forgood state schools seem very scary! Thanks Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hopefully someone will be along to answer your question - my children go to state school so am unable to answer your query. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen_PFR Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Typically the private schools in WA have a broad range of criteria when looking at school enrolments. Things like whether the child is the same religion (proof of baptism, first holy communion, confirmation etc required), whether either of the child's parents are an 'old boy' or 'old girl' of the school, how long the child's name has been on the waiting list, etc. If I were you I'd email the schools you're interested in and ask - alternatively, check their websites (if they have them - most private schools do) to see if this info is on there.

Arwen Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I would put their names down now. Kindy kids at St Mark's are usually put down at birth so you may be too late for Kindy. Ring the schools. My children attend St Mark's and we are not remotely religious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Suzanne Shaw Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hi. Thanks for the information. We'll start ringing around on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
