Enrolment
At Our Lady of Fatima School, Catholic families are given priority for enrolment, however we also welcome people of all faiths, and beliefs. You do not have to be Catholic to enrol at Fatima, though we encourage you to participate in the faith life of our school which has the teachings of Jesus Christ at its core.
​
Families moving into the area looking to enrol students in years 1 – 6 are encouraged to phone, enquire through our website and where possible arrange to visit the school for a tour. Enrolments are accepted throughout the year where class sizes permit.
Enrolment for Preps:
Enrolment forms are available on the website and from the school office. If your child is turning 5 by April 30th in the year of enrolment then you are eligible to enrol. Parent/carers are asked to submit an application for enrolment form complete with required paperwork in the year prior to starting school. Once a completed enrolment application has been lodged you will receive a letter of acknowledgement and later an acceptance letter. We have a Transition to Prep Program to get to know you and your child/ren and for you to get to know us. This includes:

Fee Structure
By enrolling at Our Lady of Fatima, parents/carers agree to pay School Fees comprised of:
-
Family Fee
-
Student Levy
​
State and Commonwealth Government grants do not cover the whole cost of running Catholic schools. Each year we rely on a local contribution from parents/carers to help cover educational costs for each student. Family fees assist in meeting the day-to-day costs of operating the school and generally the school spends significantly more in these areas than we collect in fees.
​
The Student Levy covers all costs associated with the compulsory curriculum. Careful budgeting takes place when setting the Student Levy and each child is accounted for, therefore if your child is unable to attend a particular event during the year it is not possible to have any amounts refunded. The Student Levy includes the cost of classroom materials for students on a daily basis and resources for all curriculum areas.
Uniform
The children at Our Lady of Fatima are very proud of their school.
Our Student Dress Code is designed to:
-
foster a sense of community and belonging while encouraging students to develop pride in their appearance
-
promote the feeling of equality amongst students while ensuring that they are dressed
-
safely and appropriately for school activities
-
provide a cost effective means of clothing your children during the school year; and
-
enhance the profile and identity of the school and its students within the wider community.
The dress code is applicable to all students and must be adhered to while travelling to and from school, while students are in school, and while students are participating in school activities outside of school hours.
​
All students are expected to wear the full school uniform at all times. We have both a summer and winter uniform, as well as a sports uniform. The school also has a well-stocked second hand uniform shop that sells all pieces for $3.00 each. All school uniform items are available through our preferred supplier: Beleza School Uniforms, Shop 5, 855 Nepean Highway, Rosebud.
Our students say...
"Our Principal and teachers encourage us to do our best…it makes me want to do my best"
"When I arrive everyone is enthusiastic…everyone is welcoming…"
"I feel safe.
I feel respected.
I like being part of Fatima"
