Additional Enrolment Information

It is important that you include all relevant student information in the application. This ensures that the student is adequately supported upon arrival and is matched with suitable homestays, teachers and educational courses.

Please provide full and correct information relating to health issues and learning needs. Failure to disclose information or provide misleading information may result in an Offer of Place withdrawal or termination of the Contract of Enrolment.

You will need scanned copies of the following documents to complete your application.

  • Student’s current passport
  • Student’s photo
  • Student’s last school report (translated into English)
  • Student’s Vaccination Certificate
  • Student’s Insurance Certificate (translated into English)

Before signing the Contract of Enrolment we recommend you seek independent advice from an Education Agent or Immigration Advisor.

If you hold a New Zealand passport or your Visa status changes, you may be able to enrol as a domestic student. Domestic enrolment preference is given to students or families with an established Catholic connection. To establish this, a Preference of Enrolment Certificate must be obtained from your Parish Priest and the student must meet certain criteria. Non-Preference (or non-Catholic) families are welcome to enrol their child at Aquinas College. However, the Non-Preference roll is very competitive and the number accepted depends on the number of Preference applications received. Click here for domestic enrolment:
