4. If you are a Catholic, please attach the letter of your Parish Priest, recommending your case as well as the Xerox copy of the baptismal certificate.

III AN ADMISSION POLICY:
We are now in the unfortunate situation that we cannot possibly admit any more all the good boys we would be glad to have in this school. It is therefore necessary to adopt an Admission Policy. It is indeed with much regret that we have to refuse admission to some who may be well suited to this school. This is simply due to the fact that there are not sufficient places for all who apply.

CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION:
1. Ability: Without which there can be no question of admission. We would only harm your child if after admission he is to become a failure. Therefore we shall not hesitate to inform you, should your son be unfit or ill prepared.
2. Age: We have a certain age criteria for admission to Class LKG. The age group is 3 years 5 months but not more than 4 years and 3 months as of 1st June 2012. i.e. the birth of the child should be in between 1st March 2008 and 31st December 2008. A child that is too young will find it too difficult to keep pace as greater maturity is required for the understanding of a subject in the higher classes.
3. Relationship to the School: Subject to conditions one and two preference will be given to:
a. Catholics, because, St. Xavier's is a minority school, built by the minority, and established to cater to the needs of the Catholic Community of Pune.
b. Brothers of boys who are already in St. Vincent's school, and who are doing well, to avoid inconvenience to parents. Mention which class(es) the brother(s)is/are in, and what percentage he/they obtained in the most recent Examination (attach Xerox copy).
c. Sons of ex-students of St. Vincent's, especially those who have been involved with the school during the past 3 years.[SeeRule18(6)on page1]
4. National And Social Integration: We want to have boys from all Communities and from all social strata. Wealth is no consideration. The poor boy, who is promising, will receive special consideration.

IV NOTE WELL
1. Please note: NO DONATIONS ARE ACCEPTED IN-VIEW OF,AND ON THE OCCASION OF ADMISSION AND PROMOTION. Any attempt to offer donations will only serve as a disqualification. It would be good for you to remember that our school never accept donations for admission. TO GUARD YOU AGAINST FRAUD, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE NO AGENTS TO SECURE ADMISSION.
2. It is advisable to apply to other schools for admission as well. THE PLEA THAT THE BOY MUST BE ADMITTED TO THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT APPLIED ELSE WHERE, CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.
3. Parents would obviously like to send their children to the best school often without considering their capabilities, or the demands such a school would make on their children or themselves. Not all boys are able to meet the demands made on them at St. Xavier's. Some would probably do much better in a school where the demands are not so great. This is an important point parents should consider before applying for admission in this school.

V. INTERVIEW: PLEASE REMEMBER :-
1. That there will be an interview of the applicant along with his parents.
2. That it is most painful for the school authorities to refuse admission. Kindly refrain therefore from making constant and repeated requests for the admission.
3. That it is equally painful whenever you try to exert pressure by bringing recommendations.
4. That all admissions made to LKG are based on the policy set by the Management. We have been advised to restrict admissions. This policy is no doubt in the interest of the school and we shall adhere to it.
