Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Application Submission
Parents must complete and submit the application form either online or in person. Required documents include a recent photograph, copies of the applicant’s and parents’/guardians’ HKID or passport, past academic reports, proof of address (issued within three months), certificates of achievements, and a marked English writing sample from the most recent school year. These documents must be prepared before the application is processed.
2. Interview
All applicants are invited to attend an interview. This stage allows the school to meet the student, assess communication skills, and gain insight into their suitability for the curriculum. Parents may also be asked to attend to discuss the student’s learning background.
3. Notification of Results
The school informs parents of the admission decision through phone, mail, or email. Offers of admission are made on the basis of interview performance, academic background, and available places in the requested year level.
4. Important Timelines
For Secondary 1 entry, applications are reviewed in rounds. Round 1 ends in late September, Round 2 in late November, and Round 3 in late January of the following year. Later applications may still be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on availability.
5. Special Pathways (IB Admission)
Students applying for the International Baccalaureate track (S.4 PLUS or IB Year 1) may be required to meet additional criteria, including academic results and interview performance. Parents should note that this pathway has limited places and higher annual fees than the HKDSE stream.
The school does not publish information about operating a waitlist or pool system.
The school does not publicly state any scholarships. Instead, it offers a School Fee Remission Scheme, which is linked to the Hong Kong Student Finance Office. Eligible families can apply for partial or full fee remission based on assessed financial need, but this is not merit-based and is distinct from scholarships.
