- Baptised children of Bethany Catholic School’s catchment area. (See Map)
- Siblings of children already enrolled in the school.
- 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.
- Non-Christians where a need is established following a meeting with the Parish Priest/Principal.
