Procedures
Thank you for showing an interest in St. Mary’s Catholic High School. Students applying for a place at St. Mary’s are required to pass an entry test in English and mathematics. The examination is competitive as the number of students applying far exceeds the number of places available.
Other factors are also taken into consideration, which allow us to ensure a good balance and maintain the international and multi faith dimensions of the student body.
