3 Primary to Secondary PATHWAYS 2018 A Catholic Education from Kindergarten to Year 12 Thank you for choosing or considering a Catholic education for your child. This booklet will guide you through the process of choosing a Catholic systemic secondary college, and answer some frequently asked questions. It explains how to select a college, how to help your child cope with the primary to secondary transition and the criteria for secondary enrolment. It also contains details of all the secondary systemic colleges in the Archdiocese of Sydney, including their official feeder schools. 1

4 Why is a continuous Catholic education pathway important? From primary school to secondary college, a good Catholic education is for life and the friendships formed can last a lifetime. Students who follow the Catholic education pathway from Kindergarten to Year 12 experience a sense of continuity in the approaches to teaching and learning. Immersion in the Catholic faith and traditions enables the students to grow as young men and women who will make a difference in the world. What is a designated parish and feeder school? Most Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Sydney have a parish primary school. Secondary colleges were established to support the educational needs of students from a cluster of primary schools. These are referred to as feeder schools and have priority enrolment into their nominated secondary colleges. Students from parishes without primary schools also have enrolment priority at their designated secondary college. In the following pages you will see which secondary colleges are linked to your parish or school. Is my child guaranteed a place at the nominated secondary college if they are already enrolled in a Catholic primary school? When your child is enrolled at a Catholic primary school, the pathway to a systemic secondary college flows smoothly, provided that the student fulfils the enrolment criteria. The Enrolment Committee for each college prioritises enrolments according to the following criteria: 1. Baptised Catholic children of regularly worshipping Catholic families with strong demonstrable links to the local designated feeder parish or parishes. 2. Siblings of children already attending the college whose families have demonstrated ongoing support for the ethos and values of the Catholic Church. 3. Children of families currently enrolled at the designated Catholic feeder schools who have demonstrated ongoing support for the ethos and values of the Catholic Church. 4. Children of families who have special pastoral circumstances as assessed by the Enrolment Committee or, where appropriate, the school principal and/or priests of associated parishes in conjunction with the principal. 5. Children of Catholic families not covered above or who are outside the local designated Catholic feeder schools/parishes. 6. Children of regularly worshipping Orthodox families who have strong demonstrable links to their faith community and who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church. 7. Children of regularly worshipping families from other Christian denominations who have strong demonstrable links to their faith community and who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church. 8. Children of Orthodox families who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church. 9. Children of families from other Christian denominations who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church. 10. Children of families from other faith traditions or non-religious backgrounds who are prepared to support the ethos and values of the Catholic Church. 2

5 Can my child go to a different Catholic secondary college? Yes, you can apply for enrolment at any Catholic secondary college. The success of your application will depend on the numbers of applicants falling into the priority categories listed on the left. How do I find out more about the Catholic secondary colleges in my area? Often secondary college principals will come and talk to senior primary school students about their college. You can also attend college open days, which provide insights into what the college has to offer. You will meet the students, teachers and current parents and take a tour of the facilities and grounds. Many of our secondary colleges have strong bonds with their, and offer opportunities for the primary students to visit and become involved in a range of learning and sporting activities. When do I need to enrol my child in a secondary college? From this year SCS secondary colleges will enrol prospective students two years before the intended commencement date, i.e. Year 5 for enrolment into Year 7. Traditionally, secondary colleges in the Archdiocese of Sydney accept enrolments between March and the end of May. This varies from college to college, so contact the specific secondary college you are interested in for more details. 3

6 4 What are the advantages of co-educational colleges and single-sex colleges? Across the Archdiocese of Sydney, there are a mixture of single-sex and co-educational colleges. Some students attend the same college through to Year 12, others commence their secondary studies for years 7-10 at a single-sex school, and then feed into a co-ed years college. Experts are divided on the advantages and disadvantages of either method of education. For you as a parent, the needs of your child are the central factor in your choice of schooling. It is important to include your child in the conversation about the best school option for him or her. Does the size of the school matter? Both small and large colleges offer different opportunities for your child. Smaller colleges, like smaller primary schools, can offer a more personal learning environment and better leadership opportunities. Larger colleges often have more subject choices, and also allow students ample opportunities to expand their circle of friends. Most schools have programs in place to ease the transition from primary to secondary school, so students should not feel daunted coming from a small primary school to a large secondary college. Do HSC and NAPLAN results matter? There are a many differing factors which may affect HSC and NAPLAN results. In general, Catholic colleges score above the state average in HSC and NAPLAN tests. However, the Catholic school ethos is about developing the whole person which means your child will have the opportunity to excel and develop in many areas, not just academic ones. When you are looking at a secondary college for your child, it is important to know your child s strengths and look at the opportunities the college provides for them to grow. What provisions are made for students with diverse learning needs? Sydney Catholic Schools is committed to meeting the diverse learning needs of students. We believe, and research demonstrates, that gifted learners thrive academically, socially, and emotionally when they are placed with peers of similar ability. The Newman Program models best practice in education for gifted and talented students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Students who are identified as gifted are placed in Newman groupings or streams, which provide differentiated instruction and assessment, and record and celebrate student achievement. Sydney Catholic schools also provide an inclusive curriculum, adjusted learning programs and specialist support for students with special needs. Eileen O Connor Catholic College Lewisham opened in 2016 to provide holistic educational services for young people with moderate intellectual disability and other complex learning needs. It will expand in the future to include students from Kindergarten to Year 12. The Arrowsmith Program is also offered to improve the cognitive capacities that affect learning for eligible students at selected primary and secondary schools. If your child has a particular learning need or strength, it is essential that you discuss this with the principal of the school where you wish to enrol. How do I help my child cope with the transition from primary to secondary school? This transition period is a critical time for students and families it is a major milestone on the journey to adulthood. From help understanding transport arrangements to a brief lesson in reading timetables, there are many things that you can do to help make your child s transition a smooth one. Key is developing your child s confidence and independence. The more knowledge they have about the secondary college they will be attending, the better they will feel. Most primary schools and secondary colleges run programs to assist the students in settling into their new school, speak to your child s school and explore the internet for more information.

7 What are the fees? Tuition fees are charged at all systemic primary and secondary colleges. In 2015, SCS moved to a differentiated school tuition fee model. This means that there will be slight variations in tuition fees from school to school, depending on the socio-economic rating of the area in which the school is located. On average, the tuition fees for a years 7-8 student are around $1,600 per year, for a years 9-10 student, around $1,700 per year and for a years student around $2,200 per year. As mentioned, there will be some minor variations between schools. As well as tuition fees, there are some separate school-based charges (sport, excursions, technology etc.) and a School Building Levy. This levy is used to help pay for the loans taken out by the parish or SCS to cover building works, repairs and maintenance of school buildings. At HSC level, there may also be some charges for specific subjects (e.g. Woodwork and Construction). Parents who need support to meet the cost of educating their child in a systemic Catholic school may be eligible for a bursary through the Catholic Education Foundation. Information about the Catholic Education Foundation can be obtained from your local Catholic school or from the SCS website. School fee relief may also be available to some families. Contact your local Catholic school for more information about the school fees charged by that school. What does systemic mean and how are systemic schools different from other Catholic schools? Systemic Catholic schools are administered by SCS. All systemic schools work closely with their parish, use a low fee model, and have access to centrally-funded programs. They receive some government funding. Congregational Catholic schools are run independently by religious orders. They charge their own fees, and also receive some government funding, but under a different model. Both systemic and congregational schools in the Archdiocese of Sydney are responsible to the Archbishop of Sydney. The information in this booklet refers only to Catholic systemic schools. There is a list of the congregational secondary schools on page 47. 5
