Main Points:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Catholic Education Melbourne has received a number of queries from secondary school principals seeking an extension to the enrolment application deadlines for Year 5 students in 2020 enrolling in Year 7 in 2022.
The request to push the enrolment dates back has been approved by the Executive Director and the Principals Association of Victorian Catholic Secondary Schools (PAVCSS).
