I thought you had to enrol very early aswell so I started contacting the primary Catholic schools in my area to enrol DD. With primary you enrol the year prior to the child starting (at least thats with all the Catholic schools in my area) & then it's usually grade 5 they enrol in the High school.

When I was in primary school (catholic school) I remember going to the Catholic high school with my school to do a tour, I suppose that was around grade 5? I loved the schools I attended (of course I don't know any different though!) but because of my good experiences I will be sending my children to Catholic schools also.

With saying that, I'm not saying public schools are worse, I know the public schools are very good these days. (Hope I didnt offend anyone)

I think because you're Catholic your DS may get in ahead of those with both parents non-Catholic?? Not sure though.

Good luck in the future enrolling.
