Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your child. While every school offers learning opportunities, Catholic schools provide an education that nurtures the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. 

At our school, your child will be known, valued and supported as an individual. We strive to create a welcoming community where students feel a sense of belonging, develop strong relationships and are encouraged to become their very best version of themselves.

Catholic education is grounded in values such as compassion, respect, service, inclusion and justice. These values are woven through everyday school life, helping students grow into confident young people who care for others and make a positive contribution to their community. 

Prep students engage with the Foundation Year of the Australian Curriculum through a play-based program that encourages curiosity. In our safe and nurturing environment, children learn through exploration and discovery, supported every step of the way by our caring and supportive teachers. With access to a purpose-built Prep precinct, students build confidence, form friendships and develop the skills they need for a positive and successful transition to Year 1.

To help your child feel confident and excited about starting school, we offer a range of orientation events prior to their first day. These opportunities allow your child and family to become familiar with our school community, meet key staff and begin building connections before their first day. Enrolled families will receive further information about these events closer to the time.

Applications for enrolment into our wonderful Prep program can be submitted at any time and will be kept on file until the year before your child is of age to commence Prep.

Interviews will be held in Term 1 of the year before your child is due to start Prep.

A member of staff will contact you to organise your interview time. Letters of offer are sent shortly after the interviews have been completed. If there is not a place available, your child may be placed on a waiting list.

While Holy Spirit School is a Catholic school, we are open to all families seeking a faith-based education in a welcoming and inclusive community. We celebrate the diversity of the families we serve and invite everyone to participate in and support the Catholic traditions, beliefs and values that guide our schools and enrich the educational experience of every student. Children who are baptised Catholic are given priority of enrolment at Brisbane Catholic Education schools.

Yes, on-site Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) for children up to 12 years old is available. This service is managed by Catholic Early EdCare. Click here to find out more.

If your child is placed on a waitlist, you will be kept informed throughout the enrolment process. If an availability arises, families will be contacted and offered a place where possible.

Absolutely! In fact, the best way to know whether our school is the right fit for your family is to experience it for yourself.

We encourage families to attend a school tour or Open Day to meet our staff, explore our learning environments, and get a feel for our community. It's a wonderful opportunity to ask questions and see firsthand what makes our school special. You can visit us during Open Week or sign up for a Principal's Tour.  

We look forward to welcoming you and helping you discover whether our school is the right fit for your family.

We welcome students and families who share in the values and ethos of a Catholic education. Each application we receive is assessed on its merit however where limited availability exists, priority may be given to:

• Catholic students and applicants from Catholic families
• A sibling of a current or past student of the school/college
• A student from a BCE Catholic primary or secondary school
• A student from other Catholic schools or kindergarten managed by Catholic Early EdCare (if relevant)
• Applicants from families from another or no faith tradition who are willing to commit to the values of the school and who are willing to support and contribute positively to the life of the school.

Families are encouraged to review the BCE Enrolment Policy before submitting an application.

We are committed to supporting every student to thrive. Our specialist support staff work closely with families to understand each child's individual needs and, where required, develop personalised learning plans and programs that support their learning, wellbeing and success throughout their educational journey.

We believe every child deserves access to a high-quality education.
