Registration and Enrollment

Enrolments for all the ethnic Macedonian schools are open throughout the school year. A new student can start attending the school at any time of the year, although it is highly recommended that they start very early in Term 1. An earlier start is not only beneficial to the students, but it will also make them eligible to receive an “Acknowledgement of Participation Certificate” by the NSW Department of Education and Training. Enrollments can be done by contacting the Member of the School Committee and/or visiting the school of your choice.

  • Promote the Macedonian language in Primary, High School and Tertiary institutions
  • Organise co-ordination between the Macedonian Ethnic Schools in NSW to ensure a high standard in the teaching of Macedonian
  • Assist in the organisation of materials required for teaching Macedonian and to encourage exchange of information and materials between all teachers
  • Raise money to support the teaching of Macedonian and related cultural activities
  • Encourage Macedonian cultural activities in the Australian community and to work with other organisations for the purpose of organizing various cultural and artistic activities
  • Encourage co-operation between Macedonian educational institutions
There are various annual activities organised by the Macedonian School Council of NSW, in co-operation with all ethnic and primary schools in NSW where the Macedonian language program is taught. These include: an Academy in honour of Sts. Kiril and Metodij, recognising students’ and teachers’ achievements, effort, dedication and contribution towards studying Macedonian; a Recital competition, where students from all ethnic and primary school recite poems entirely in Macedonian as well as an End of Year Concert, featuring song and drama performances by all Macedonian language students.
