Yes Zack did get his, he is off to Moorhead in september.

You could be lucky. Ginger went to mount Carmel and he wasn't Catholic. he did have to sit an exam to get in though...... but you could be lucky.

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

was it called our ladys when he went there?

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

think so...why did you go there?

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

No, ask him if he knows any of the Hannans

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

how old are they?
me fellas 34

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

there's loads of them, he'll know some of them

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

Hey, he should have chance of getting in.. the laws changed and single faith schools have to admit a certain amount of ppl from the other faith... If they say no then appeal, sometimes extra spaces come up, ppl moving etc...

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

i know hun, they let 5 non faith kids in, not a lot hey

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

Its something to do with the class sizes, Ty's first school only had 12 in a year so they would of taken less non-catholics. Its still worth appealing if they say no..

Re: Secondary School Admissions for September
 

If his chavette mother attends church on a regular basis and has a letter signed by her parish priest to confirm this he should have no trouble. Otherwise I hope he does not get in.
