We strive to be welcoming and inclusive and to collaborate with parents as partners in the education of their child, while making every effort to ensure a Catholic education is accessible to every Catholic family through the provision of family-friendly fee policies and fee relief.

We are open and welcoming to all Catholic students, regardless of their background, and do
everything reasonable to accommodate the individual needs of each student.

The MACS Board encourages and supports its schools to extend particular assistance to children who are poor, disadvantaged or considered most at risk.

It is not compulsory to be Catholic to join our school. There is a fee concession available for families on a Health Care Card.

Parents who wish to accept a place for their children will be required to agree and sign an Enrolment Agreement with MACS, represented by the Principal, for enrolment at the particular
School.

We are required to collect and retain particular information about parents and their child in
accordance with this Framework. Parents are required to provide particular information about their child during the enrolment procedure in order for our governing body to meet its duty of care
obligations and to satisfy government requirements.

The P&F have a second hand uniform shop that is available at school and open on Friday mornings or afternoons. All items are $5 and support the P&F fundraising for the school.

Alternatively new items of uniform can be purchased from Beleza in Hallam.
