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.
Applications for places are welcome at any time. After applying, you are notified by email, but this does not guarantee a place. You receive a queue reference number and cannot view your position on the waiting list. Children who already have a sibling at the school are placed higher in the waiting list. Class placement is based strictly on the child's year of birth. Applications are reviewed at the start of each year and finalised by the end of April. Late enrollments may take place in June and August.
Waiting list: A queue reference number is issued after application, but the position on the waiting list is not visible. Siblings already at the school have higher priority in the waiting list.
