Enrol at our College
Step 1 – Enrolment Enquiry
Enquiries can be submitted to our Enrolment Officer via email or by phoning the College Office on 07 4963 1100. You will be sent a link via email to apply to enrol. If you would like a tour of the College facilities, please get in touch with our Enrolment Officer to organise a suitable time.
Step 2 – Complete Enrolment Application
When you decide you would like your child to be part of Mackay Christian College, you will need to complete an online application using the link below:
Please complete and sign an application for each child that you would like to enrol at Mackay Christian College. There is a $50 non-refundable administration fee that is payable at the completion of an application. Before starting the application, please make sure you have the following available:
A copy of the child's birth certificate or a copy of the receipt from the state government registry
2 Semesters (1 full year) of report Cards from your child’s previous school (Year 1-12) or a Transition Statement from the Previous Kindergarten (Prep Students only).
A copy of the child’s Visa Documents/Citizenship Certificate (if applicable)
A copy of the child's allergy management plan (if applicable)
A copy of your health care card/pension card (if applicable)
A copy of the child's specialist letter of diagnosis (if applicable)
A copy of the child's most recent individual education/support/behaviour plan (if applicable)
A copy of the child's birth certificate or a copy of the receipt from the state government registry
Subject Selection Form
For each child entering Year 8 to 12, a Subject Selection Form will need to be completed and submitted with the enrolment application. Subject Selection forms can be obtained from our Enrolment Officer, or you can download them from the College website Enrolment Documents. Please complete and sign a separate form for each child you would like to enrol in the relevant Year Level.
Step 3 – Submit Your Application
Once your application has been submitted via the online application platform, the Enrolment Officer will contact you if there is any extra information required and to update you with the progress of your application.
Step 4 – What happens next?
Your application will be handed to the relevant Enrolment Committee, which consists of the following members: Head of School (Primary or Secondary), Head of Academics, Head of Pastoral Care and Head of Learning Enrichment. Once the Enrolment Committee has met to review applications, the Enrolment Officer will reach out to you about an update.
Interviews
The Enrolment Committee will determine if an interview is required and if there are places available. The Enrolment Officer will call or email to arrange a time for a Family Interview with the relevant Head of School.
Once this interview has happened, you will be notified if there is a vacancy in the Year level you'd like or if you've been placed on a waiting list for this Year level.
If successful, your child will be able to commence their Learning Journey with Mackay Christian College.
Step 5 – Purchasing Uniforms & Equipment
Once your application has been submitted via the online application platform, the Enrolment Officer will contact you if there is any extra information required and to update you with the progress of your application.
Step 6 – Commencing the MCC Learning Journey
When your child arrives to commence their first day at Mackay Christian College, they will be met by our friendly Office Staff at either of our Campuses. Students entering Prep to Year 6 will be informed of their new class and directed to their classroom to meet their new teacher and classmates. Their new teacher will make sure they have a buddy for the day to show them around and to help them learn the rules.
Students in Years 7 to 12 will wait in the College Office to be greeted by the Learning Pathways Coordinator. They will discuss their timetable and, for the older students, their possible career pathways and objectives. Parents are welcome to sit in on these discussions if they would like. Students will then be given a buddy for the day to ensure they find their way to their classes and to help them become accustomed to life at MCC.
