Enrolment Information

 

Steps of Enrolment:

• Ensure that you are familiar with the contents of this document, especially the article on “Upholding the Special Character” on pages 5 and 6, and seriously consider whether you are willing to meet these expectations in school time.
• Fill out an application form for each child, available online or from the school office, and send it to school. We will be in touch with you - please give us a reminder if you don’t have a response within a week. Applications from new families outside the Proprietor church always go to a full BOT meeting. This may take a month of more, so please take this into account when sending in an application form. See also the note about new entrant visits on page 38. All applications for a new school year must be submitted by October 1st the previous year. May the Lord add His blessing!

First you must consider why you want to enroll your children at this school.

The Proprietors consider that anyone who is serious about Christian education will normally start when the oldest in the family turns five, not years later when troubles arise at another school. 

If the primary goal for your children’s education is high achievement, a positive learning environment, or cultural and sporting opportunities, then there are many good state schools around. We have no doubt about the quality of education and quality of teachers in many state schools and colleges in the local area. They can provide opportunities which we cannot compete with. If, on the other hand, you desire the Word of God to be at the center of both family life and school life, mutually complementing one another, then other local education options are limited and your family may fit in well here.

Do you…

• Take the Bible seriously from Genesis 1 to Revelations 22, including a literal interpretation of Genesis 1 (creation), Genesis 3 (the fall), Romans 5 (redemption), and Revelations 21&22 (final judgement and eternal life)?
• Take the law of God seriously, and make decisions around the entertainments in your home accordingly?
• Know something of the horror of sin, which Satan tries to desensitize us to, and look forward to a time when all sin will be finally subdued?
• Acknowledge that there is nothing of credit in us and our only hope for true happiness and eternal life is to completely trust in Jesus Christ alone who paid an infinite price that we deserve to pay?
• Realise that this world is broken through sin, and all its values, entertainments and possessions are perishing with it, and we are called to be strangers and pilgrims here. So the most important thing for us and our children is to prepare for eternity? And in that light, you want your children to be in an environment where they hear the gospel message and God’s message of love for children. 

If you relate well to these matters, then this school is likely to be a wise choice for your family.
