Application forms are available from the school office. To be considered for enrollment, applications must be complete and submitted with a non-refundable registration fee. Age requirements for admission to St Philip School will follow the guidelines contained in Diocese of Victoria Handbook of Policies and Regulations for Catholic Schools.

Applicants seeking entrance to St. Philip Catholic School will be accepted based on a determination of the ability of the school to provide the student with the necessary educational program to meet his/her academic needs. Students who have been removed from another school for disciplinary reasons will not be admitted to St Philip School.

Parents of prospective students may be interviewed by the principal before enrollment decisions are made. Upon acceptance, the first increment of tuition and other required payments will be due on a timeline provided by the school office. All new students are admitted to St. Philip School on a probationary status for two months. During this time, the school's administration reserves the right to revoke the student's admission status.

Acceptance Priorities

The following priorities are used to admit students:

• Siblings of currently enrolled students (or of those who have completed the highest grade lev el of the school)
• Children of St Philip Parishioners (contact the St Philip Catholic Church Office for requirements for parishioner status) Parents who are alumni of St. Philip Catholic School.
• Oldest child just reaching school age.
• Children of new parishioners, who are transferring from a Catholic school, or from an area where a Catholic school was not available, but who participated in the religious education programs offered.
• Children from neighboring Catholic Parishes.
• Catholic or Non-Catholic children who meet admission requirements and do not fall under the guidelines listed above.

St. Philip Catholic School accepts the number of students in each grade level that allows for excellence in teaching and learning. Each year, the enrollment in each class is rolled forward. If there are openings in a class, then new students are admitted based on criteria that gives preference to those with students currently enrolled, children of alumni, and parishioners. If those with this preference do not accept enrollment for the opening in that year, then they will forfeit their preferential status for any future enrollment and will be given a place on a first come first serve basis. Special circumstances will be considered as determined by the Principal and Admission's Committee.
