As these schools are private even though you may be catholic they don't have to offer you a place. If you have to enrol in a state school all those things will not be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 In a government school you will get away with vaccination record, visa status along with date of birth and evidence of your new permanent address. They don't usually bother about anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is because my kids are Aussie citizens or if the school they go to just aren't bothered about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy1 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Almost every single school will require copies of immunisation records whether you are Aussie citizens or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernbird Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I worked in a state school and our school asked for it. If you don't provide one all that will happen is that if there is a breakout of Measles in particular your child could potentially be asked to not attend school until it has passed.

starlight7 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Never heard of people asking for baptismal records, even in church schools. I didn't think they would be allowed to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Catholic schools here that do ask for that, especially if the school is popular and priority is given to Catholics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Wouldn't that be discrimination? They receive government funding as well as being 'private' after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably an oversight and they would be in deep doo doo if something noxious lay infectious got out. I believe he standard protocol is to require unvaccinated children to be away from school in the event of one of the nasties like WC or measles getting out there. You do have to apply to have an unvaccinated child enrolled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholic schools here certainly also accept non Catholics, but it does say in their guidelines that priority is given on a sliding scale, having that faith being one of them. I don't see how it is discrimination at all. My children are not Catholic and nor am I, but If I wished to enrol them in a school then I would understand that we would be at the bottom of the waiting list.

They have had every vaccine given to kids in the UK, I just don't remember being asked for any paper work to prove it when they started school here.

imo2oz Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 We needed vacination records. Maybe this is a silly question, but what do they take as evidence of vaccinations? Entries in their red book? I am not sure if I have anything else that shows thay have been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
