Can your family apply?
Garin is a Catholic school – and we are legally restricted to 67 students who are not Catholic or “preference”.
Preference is a legal term – not a religious term. It is a technical word used in the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act 1975 . “Preference of enrolment” is normally given to students …
- who either have been baptised as Catholic (or is preparing to become Catholic), or
- who have a brother or sister baptised as a Catholic, or
- who have one or both parents who were baptised into the Catholic Church
… but there are other criteria sometimes used …
- a church-going grandparent or other significant adult in the student’s life undertakes to support the student, or
- one of the student’s parents or guardians is preparing to become Catholic
If you would to see how that affects your family, please contact our Head Teacher John Boyce, or our Enrolment Officer Mary Anne Heckler.
Head Teacher John Boyce is always happy to meet families considering Garin for their secondary schooling, or wishing to discuss their preference (or non-preference) situation. Just phone the school, or email achieve@garincollege.ac.nz for an appointment or a copy of our prospectus.
