St Mary's College (Wellington)

St Mary’s College is a Catholic Integrated Secondary School. Enrolments at St Mary’s College fall under two categories—Preference and Non-Preference. Preference (Catholic) means the applicant qualifies for a preference certificate that is signed by their local Catholic parish priest.

For more information about preference criteria and non preference applications please click on the black button ’Preference vs Non-Preference’ (below, on the right).

The majority of our roll is made up of preference students. Non-preference students will be accepted up to 10% of the maximum roll, only after all eligible preference students have been accepted, provided that the maximum roll is not exceeded.

We invite you to view the information provided below, including our school prospectus, to help provide further details about St Mary’s College and the enrolment process.
