Enrolment Policies

Emmaus College – Enrolment Pack

Emmaus College Enrolment Policy for Year 7 students was developed in consultation with its Canonical Administrators, Priority Primary Catholic School Principals and Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS). The Enrolment policy has been approved by the Archbishop of Melbourne. There is a separate Enrolment policy for entry into our Junior School, Prep to Year 6.

The order of priority for Year 7 enrolment is:

1. Catholic children who are residents of a designated priority parish (see list of priority parishes below) and have attended a Catholic primary school in one of those parishes.
2. Children from non-Catholic Eastern churches (i.e. Greek Orthodox, Macedonian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox and Other Orthodox) who have attended a priority parish Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish (see list of priority parishes below).
3. Other Christian children who have attended a priority parish Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish (see list of priority parishes below).
4. Non-Christian children who have attended a priority parish Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish (see list of priority parishes below).
5. Catholic children who are residents of a designated priority parish (see list of priority parishes below) and have not attended a Catholic primary
6. Catholic children from other parishes (for pastoral reasons).
7. Children from non-Catholic Eastern churches (i.e. Greek Orthodox, Macedonian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox and Other Orthodox) who have not attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish (see list of priority parishes).
8. Other Christian children who have not attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish (see list of priority parishes below).
9. Non-Christian children who have not attended a Catholic primary school and are residents of a priority parish (see list of priority parishes below), and
10. Non-Catholic families that reside outside the priority parish (see list of priority parishes below).

Note: 

• Siblings of children already enrolled at Emmaus College are given priority
• Children of Emmaus Alumni are given priority in each of the categories listed
• Please note that the Emmaus College enrolment policy is likely to vary from that of other Catholic secondary schools in the Archdiocese, including those in the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) Eastern Region. The Enrolment Policy has been made to support the communities of our Catholic priority feeder primary schools and parishes.

Please note that due to long-term high enrolment demand at Emmaus College, not all categories in the amended Emmaus Enrolment Policy can guarantee enrolment at Emmaus.
