How to enrol

Catholic College Wodonga welcomes everyone.

 

As a family you face an important decision about schooling, individual growth, and subject variety. Thank you for your considering our College. To understand the Catholic education difference, please watch this video.

 

ENROLLING FOR 2024

Limited places are available for Year 7-11. Our next commencement period is Monday 17 June 2024, when we start the Semester 2 curriculum. Exceptions may apply depending on individual circumstances (i.e., family relocations) and will be determined by the enrolment panel. If you are interested in a Semester 2 start, contact the Enrolment Team on 6043 5500.

 

ENROLLING FOR 2025

Applications submitted by Thursday 28 March, 2024 have secured a Round 1 transition meeting in May.

 

Applications submitted from April onwards are considered in line with policy, procedures and our school’s capacity to support each child. Dependent upon when received in April, candidates may be considered for Round 1, or allocated to Round 2.

 

Transition meetings for Round 2 candidates take place in September, when less places are available and a Waitlist may apply. Families accepted for Year 8-12 2025 actually start in 2024: participating in our Commencement Program (Monday 2-Friday 13 December) when we begin the 2025 curriculum.

 

Round 3 meetings take place in late November. Successful candidates do not attend the Commencement Program: they start in Term 1, 2025.
