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.

Once accepted, parents complete registration procedures (including payment of the tuition fees and meeting other enrolment requirements) ahead of the start of the school year.
