Applying to St. Austin’s Academy
Should you have any questions about St. Austin’s Academy, or wish to register your child, please contact the Academy during office hours, Monday – Friday 8.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m. or Saturdays 8.00 a.m. – 12.00 p.m. to arrange a time to see either the Principal or the relevant Assistant Principal. Appointments may also be made outside the above office hours by arrangement.
The Enrolment procedure has three steps:
- Interview
You and your child will be interviewed by the Principal and/or the relevant Assistant Principal and his/her level will be assessed. With younger children we often advise that s/he spend a day or a half-day with the probable year group so as to have a better idea as to whether s/he will be appropriately placed. At this time, should you wish to proceed, you should complete the “Acceptance Form” and pay the Registration Fee.
- Waiting List
Payment of the Registration Fee puts your child’s name on the Waiting List for that year group. When a vacancy arises, you will be contacted in order of your seniority on the list and offered the place, subject to a time constraint.
- Enrollment
Should you accept the offer of a place, payment of the tuition fees guarantees the enrollment of your child in his/her year group. At this time, your child will be formally accepted as a student at St. Austin’s Academy.
