Admissions
Thank you for your interest in applying to Notre Dame.
For inquiries related to enrolment in the current school year, please contact office@ndrs.org.
General Admissions for 2024-2025 is not yet open. See the Application Process for incoming Grade 8s.
Admission is granted on the basis of the applying student's parish, religion, as well as parent participation, and is always subject to places being available. Because Notre Dame is a regional school, it must serve its region first.
The selection process for new Grade 8 students is largely the responsibility of the ten regional pastors.
For students applying to enter in Grades 9 through 12, there is a protocol for acceptance by the Principal, which includes submission of the student’s most recent report card, as well as reference letters, together with any other appropriate documentation. School personnel will interview prospective students. Any student accepted will be placed on probation, with both academic and behavioural reviews carried out at regular intervals.

"... My family members consistently talked about Notre Dame, and when they shared these stories with me, their faces exemplified pure joy. I could infer from a very young age that ND was the place one would make everlasting memories and call their home away from home."
