Preference Enrolments
The College office will refer parents who wish to apply for a Preference Certificate to the Whangarei Parish Priest. Families moving from another town or city should obtain a Preference Certificate from their existing Parish Priest.
Eligibility for Preference of Enrolment is determined by the following criteria, as set down by the New Zealand Catholic Bishops' Conference:-
|
5.1 |
The child has been baptised or is being prepared for baptism in the Catholic Church; |
|
5.2 |
The child's parents or guardians have already allowed one or more of its siblings to be baptised in the Catholic faith; |
|
5.3
|
At least one parent or guardian is Catholic, and although their child has not yet been baptised, the child's participation in the life of the school could lead to the parents having the child baptised; |
|
5.4
|
With the agreement of the child's parent or guardian, a grandparent or other significant adult in the child's life (such as an aunt, uncle or godparent) undertakes to support the child's formation in the faith and practices of the Catholic Church; or |
|
5.5 |
One or both of the child's non-Catholic parents or guardians is preparing to become Catholic. |
A Preference Certificate in the name of Pompallier Catholic College must accompany all enrolments applying under the Preference category.
