Unchristian attitude in refusing school admission

The unchristian actions and attitude of the lay principal of a so-called Catholic-ethos school in refusing admission to his school of a teenage mother beggars belief.

The idea that the principal of a State-funded institution could also be the owner, patron and founder gives rise to major accountability questions, such as how any appeal system can be independent. I also wonder by what right it can claimed to be a Catholic-ethos school?

Last year I wrote to the relevant bishop asking for a list of Catholic secondary schools in the area that I could approach for enrolment of my two girls. I then wrote to these schools asking for enrolment criteria and after repeated requests I got the information I wanted. I found the information very inadequate and wrote a submission to the Department of Education consultation on admission procedures.
