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 Elmarie Els eels@stc.school.nz at the school office.

All new entrants starting next year 2019 need to purchase the school uniform through the school.
Fitting out for year 9 students will commence on Monday the 10th September as we need to place the Blazer order by the 28th September for January 2019 delivery. Appointments are made on line and each appointment takes just under ½ hour. We are aware that boys grow and this is taken into consideration. If you have a son starting in year 7 or 8, please bring him along at the time of your year 9 son’s appointment.
You may lay-by the uniform or you can pay by credit card, eftpos cash or cheque but you are under no obligation to pay any money at fit out time. Your son’s uniform must be paid for when you collect it.
Pick up will be in January 2019 and you will be advised of the date and time by email. You will also have a date that you may exchange your son’s uniform if it is not the correct size.
It is very important that you make time for this appointment if you are unable to come in please email nlester@stc.school.nz so that I can arrange an alternative time for you and your son.
Year 7 & 8 entrants for 2019 will have their fit out time after the holidays.
