Admissions PolicyFaith and Excellence in Catholic Education
The Island Catholic Schools were originally established to provide an education for Catholic students residing in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria. Non-Catholic families may be interested in a faith-based education for their children, therefore, students not of the Catholic faith are also accepted. Please see the detailed policy in the link provided. -
