Diocesan Girls' Junior School places a strong emphasis on biliteracy in English and Chinese and promotes trilingualism, with English as the medium of instruction for most subjects while Chinese, General Studies II, and Putonghua are taught in Chinese. Putonghua is included across the curriculum, with a Putonghua stream in learning Chinese from Primary Four to Primary Six and Hanyu Pinyin taught from Primary One, complemented by lunchtime Putonghua chat rooms. The formal curriculum is organized around core strands—Literacy, Numeracy, Science and Technology, Performing Arts, and Environmental Education—with General Studies I for Primary 1–3 and General Studies II for Primary 4–6, and Information and Computer Technology integrated throughout. Project-based learning is embedded across Science and Technology and General Studies, including annual year-level projects and a year-end science exhibition. A Primary 6 Code-to-Care (C2C) Programme embedded in ICT combines computational thinking and community-oriented app design, with parent mentoring workshops.

1. Online application and eligibility. The DGJS online admission system is accessed at admission.dgjs.edu.hk and the online application period for Primary One admission is from August 15 to August 26, 2025. Only girls born between September 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020 are eligible to apply; applicants should not submit if the child is outside this age range. Parents must send the required documents to the School by Registered Post or Courier Service between August 15 and August 27, 2025; applications with stamps or postage shortfalls received after August 27 will not be processed. After submission, print the Portfolio Cover Sheet and Portfolio Summary Form for hard-copy submission if required, and consult the Notes to Applicants section in the system for any additional requirements. The admissions portal and status updates are accessed through the DGJS Online Admission System.

2. Scheduling and conducting the first interview. Following the online application, the school communicates the first interview date and time on the portal's Stage 2 page; parents should log in after 6:00 pm on September 24, 2025 to view the latest details. The initial interview is the first formal assessment of applicants, with the session video shown to attending parents during the visit. A single parent accompanies the child to the interview, and the day's schedule is posted in the portal to help families plan. Parents should monitor the portal for any updates and follow notes in the system for exact instructions.

3. First interview results and subsequent steps. The first interview results are released on November 3, 2025 after 4:00 pm; you can log in to the online admission system and check Stage 3: First Interview Result for the latest details. The portal also indicates that some applicants may be invited to a second interview, while others may proceed directly based on the portfolio and interview performance. If you are on the reserve list, you may be invited to a third round of interview if the school requires further information. After the interview outcomes are published, the system will provide next-step instructions and any applicable notes to applicants.

4. Outcome types and next steps. The DGJS FAQ confirms three possible interview results: an offer list, a reserve list (waitlist), or a rejected list. Applicants on the reserve list may be invited to a third round of interview if needed. The portal notes provide the specific steps and deadlines once a place is offered, including how to proceed with enrollment. Overall, acceptance and enrollment are processed through the online system with communications posted under Stage statuses and the Notes to Applicants section.

Scholarships and financial support are available in two related strands. DGJS itself offers bursaries (fee remission) for families with financial need, intended to enable access to the DGJS program; retention depends on ongoing academic effort and conduct. In parallel, the Diocesan Girls' School (the senior school feeder) provides a broad scholarship program, including DSS-funded scholarships such as the DGS S1 Entrance Scholarship, and non-DSS-funded scholarships, exhibitions, and other named awards. These DGS scholarships cover various categories (academic, leadership, music, sports, and service) and are available to students who progress to DGS, with some awards requiring an entrance scholarship examination. There are also additional scholarships and exhibitions sponsored by the DOGA, PTA, and other benefactors. See the DGS information on scholarships for details, including the existence of unlimited bursaries and multiple named scholarships.

Yes. DGJS uses a reserve list (waitlist) as part of its Primary One admissions outcomes. Applicants are categorized into three result groups: offer list, reserve list, and rejected list. Those on the reserve list may be invited to a third round of interview if the school requires additional information before final decisions are made. This waitlist mechanism operates within the school's online admission portal and is explained in the FAQ.
