Do they have to be Baptised/Christened ?

[Trillian]

The local Catholic school here would only have around 50% catholic students, the rest are either non-denominational or Anglican etc. They can't afford to knock kids back based on religion alone otherwise they would close.

Second attempt at replying - just lost my whole post ! %#$*^^%$(%# !! So i will do a shortened version....

Thanks so much for your replies !

Well this gives me great hope then ! Was starting to worry about them not being Baptised

They boys are so excited ! They havent stopped asking questions ! DH mentioned it to them yesterday arvo to see what they would say. Dont seem at all phased about leaving their friends but i am sure that will come when the reality sets in.

I am taking the boys for a drive past the school today to show them what we are talking about and also past a couple of other potential schools.

This can only be a good thing

DD is not christened/baptized and she goes to a fully independant private Christian school.

One of my closest friends went to a Catholic school and she wasnt christened either.

I attended a Catholic primary school & we had a mix. From what my mum said, they accept the Catholics first, then if their is room left they will accept others.
I had no problems when DD1 attended a Catholic school for 12 months. I am christened Catholic, but DD & DH aren't. No child has to participate in communion or confirmation either. Only about half the kids in my grade did. Its the families choice.

Thanks Ladies thats great info !

I really hope that the boys can get a place.

Went for a drive by this afternoon and the boys were so excited. There is plenty of space to run. Looks really good ! I just hope it has a great vibe when we look around.
Next week DH has to go and drop some white boards off there (new building works) so we will go and have a look around and ask some questions etc. Its school hols here at the moment.

This feels like the right thing to do !
