Their being students at a Catholic school means nothing with respect to their religion.

Locally, that’s not the case. The school does take a very small number of non-Catholics - these students do not seem to have been among that.

There are other places where Catholic schools routinely admit non-Catholics - including some other places in Melbourne. That particular school doesn’t because Catholic have priority entry and there’s a shortage of Catholic school places in the area, so the vast majority of the students are Catholic.

Understand I am a teacher at a Catholic school in the same Archdiocese and am also involved at policy level for the Archdiocese. I know the features of the school, and I’m involved in discussions at Archdiocese level about what went wrong.
