Enrol

Enrolling your child at our College is the start of a long, respectful and collaborative partnership between your family and our caring and dedicated team.

There’s something special about this place. Our families and staff find a home here, where faith, care and connection are central to all things. If you’re looking for a school of choice amongst families and education professionals who value a strong Christian community, we’d encourage you to come and see what MCCC has to offer. 

We encourage all families considering MCCC to experience our College for themselves by booking a tour. During the tour, you’ll meet a member of our wonderful Enrolments team, who will show you around the tour. You’ll get a sense for the space, the people, and decide for yourself whether this is a place for your family to belong.

Once you’ve toured, we welcome you to complete an enrolment application. We accept enrolments year-round, as we understand that families may be relocating to the Mid Coast for a variety of reasons.

To apply, fill out our online enrolments form, which takes approximately 20 minutes, provided you have all of the supporting documents on hand, including your child’s birth certificate, immunisation history, reports and relevant documents (eg specialist letters). A non-refundable application fee of $75 will be charged per family.

Once your application has been processed, we’ll invite you and your child to an interview with a member of our leadership team and our enrolments manager. At MCCC, we view interviews as an opportunity to get to know your family, and for you to learn more about us. We’ll ask you questions about your expectations and walk you through our approach to educating from a Christian perspective. We’ll discuss any medical, learning or wellbeing needs and you’ll be able to ask us questions to make sure we’re the right fit for your family. 

Pre-K and Kindergarten students will participate in a shared activity with our Head of Primary to see where they’re at in their learning — however, this isn’t an assessment for enrolment. Finally, for our Primary and Secondary students, we’ll look through your child’s previous reports and discuss anything that may help us to better support your child as they begin their journey of learning here at MCCC.

While many of our year levels have waitlists, we aim to allocate places fairly, with a preference given to students from Christian families, siblings of current students and children of staff. All students who are offered a place will receive their official letter of offer within 24-48 hours of the interview. You will have seven days to determine whether you’d like to proceed with enrolment and accept your offer.

The final step in our process is to get you and your child settled into our community and ready for their first day at MCCC. To ensure a smooth transition, we’ll provide you with all the information you need to organise uniforms, purchase your book lists, find your child’s new classroom and meet their new teacher.

We host a special Year 7 Orientation Day in November for new and current students to meet each other and experience life as an MCCC Secondary student. We also offer a transition day for all students to come in and meet our Educational Support Centre team and other current students in a more relaxed environment.

We also offer an orientation afternoon within the last two weeks of school, where all students from Kindergarten to Year 5 spend an afternoon with their new class and teacher for the following year. Students starting Kindergarten will have a three day orientation process. Students attend three and a half days in total, spread over 3 weeks, to participate in class activities, spend time with Kindergarten teachers, and begin the transition to school life.
