Admissions
Admissions
1. Obtain the application form from the school administration office, or request that it be sent by email by contacting the Admissions Manager. If you have more than one child, submit a separate application for each student. Return the completed application form and all supporting documents within seven working days from when you receive the form. This step begins the admissions process and sets the timeline for your submissions.
2. Complete the form in full and sign the parental statement. All relevant information must be declared, including any disciplinary, social, physical, medical, or psychological concerns. If any relevant facts are not disclosed, an offer of placement may be withdrawn even after classes have begun. Ensure the information provided is accurate to avoid jeopardizing the application.
