Many schools across Brisbane Catholic Education will start
making enrolment offers in Term 1 to give families greater clarity, consistency
and confidence as they navigate the early steps of their child’s education
journey.
For many families, one of the biggest challenges has been
managing different timelines between schools. At St Thomas’ we will align our
offerings with nearby schools where possible, to ensure all enrolment offers
are released at the same time. This not only creates a fairer process but also
gives parents the space to consider their options without pressure or
uncertainty.
The updated timeline also allows schools to connect with
families earlier in the year. Interviews take place in Weeks 2–8, Term 1, with
first round offers going out to parents in Week 9, Term 1 2027. If additional
places become available, offers are sent in Term 2, 3 and 4 ensuring families
on waitlists remain informed and supported.
For children, this approach helps our school better prepare
for the year ahead. Earlier communication means staff can learn more about each
family, understand each child’s needs and begin planning a smooth transition
into Prep. At St Thomas’ we believe in ensuring every child feels welcomed,
understood and ready for their exciting start to school.
