Enrolment Policy

 

To ensure that all applicants are treated fairly, we need to have a process in place which selects potential students according to the College’s enrolment priority.

 

Geelong Lutheran College provides its program in Christian education to all applicants regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion, ability or disability, provided that:

 

- through enrolment procedures parents seeking enrolment for their child/children undertake to support   willingly and freely the stated purposes of Geelong Lutheran College;

and

- adequate space and resources are available.

 

Geelong Lutheran College aims to provide an efficient process of enrolment that satisfies the needs of students and the school and to provide potential students with a smooth transition that enables them to become part of our school with a minimum of disruption and maximum support.
