Parent FAQ

How will the school notify about the interview? What is the format?

The school stated they will call parents to arrange a meeting if places are available. No specific format is provided, but it may include a parent interview and simple interaction with the child. Parents should be ready to discuss transfer reasons and the child’s learning situation.

Do we need to provide certificates of extracurricular activities or awards?

The application form does not require such documents; only the latest school report is mandatory. However, you may bring copies of notable achievements as a precaution, but the school has not specified they are needed.

Will non-Catholic applicants be disadvantaged?

The form includes a field for religion and asks for baptism certificate for Catholics, but there is no restriction. The school is Catholic but welcomes all faiths; the meeting may explore the family’s attitude toward religious education.
