St Thomas’ is a Catholic School for boys from Year 7 to Year 13. The main point of entry is at Year 7. However, we do accept students at Year 9 and at other levels.
For your information, as an integrated Catholic Boys High School, the Ministry allow limited places (5%) for non-Catholic students. Please read the criteria for ‘Preference’ status (i.e. Catholic). A ‘Preference’ certificate is issued and signed by a Catholic Priest and accompany applications for ‘Preference’ status. If you believe you qualify for a preference certificate and are unable to make contact with the Priest, please contact Jo Fitzgerald jfitzgerald@stc.school.nz
Please also forward your Preference card and a copy of your sons birth certificate to jfitzgerald@stc.school.nz
