1. Book a private school tour (optional). You can arrange a weekday appointment with a member of the senior leadership team to visit the campus and explore facilities. GIS notes that places fill quickly, and tours provide a helpful insight for prospective families.
2. Submit assessment and required documents. Students typically undergo English and readiness assessments. Parents are asked to provide recent school reports (two years where available), passport-size photographs, birth certificates, visa documentation, and, if applicable, parent ID/visa information. Previous school references are also requested, especially for older students.
3. Ensure decision and pay the required fees. Admission is subject to placement in the correct year group, pending Principal approval. Required fees, including enrolment and refundable deposits, and boarding deposits if applicable, must be paid at offer acceptance.
4. Confirm placement and organise logistics. After payment confirmation, placement is secured. Parents are then supported in arranging school uniforms, transportation, bus routes, boarding schedules, and the student’s start date.
