- Catholic children from other schools within St Andrew’s Parish where a need exists.
- Children from Orthodox religions residing in the school’s catchment area.
- Catholic children from other Parishes determined by the Parish Priest and Principal.
- Other non-catholic Baptised Christians where a faith environment is sought for the child.
