How reliable is the Catholic school?
You need to check how Catholic the 
school of your child is. See things like 
how often it celebrates Mass and how 
frequently are the sacraments offered. 
How does the school incorporate faith in 
subjects apart from theology? Are the 
teachers required to sign an oath of 
fidelity to church teaching? 
Is the school prepared for a 
particular vocation?
You need to consider the interests of your child prior to 
choosing a school for them. Does your child wants to work in 
design and requires an art program? Do they have an interest 
in engineering or science that requires advanced technology 
and labs? You need to discuss with your child their areas of 
interest and see if the Catholic school will be best able to 
serve those interests. A lot of Darwin primary schools are 
equipped with the capability to help students master in their 
areas of interest. 
In what ways the school 
promotes a balanced lifestyle? 
This is a vital factor to consider as the kids of 
today can really get slammed with their school 
work. You need to check if the school offers a 
balance of school work, service, 
extracurricular activities, family values and 
faith. Have a discussion with the student 
guides and the mentor families on the day you 
visit the school to learn about the everyday 
schedule of the school. 
Include your child in the 
decision making process
When it comes to choosing a Catholic school for 
your child, you should consider their opinion too. 
Include your child in the decision making process. 
Take this as an opportunity to teach your child 
about how they can make a good decision. This will 
help your child learn new things and they will feel 
valued. Personal preference is a factor to consider, 
but you should not forget to include your child in 
your decision and learn about their liked and 
dislikes.
