Admissions
How to apply
Reach out to the school using the contact details below to check 2027 application windows, since these can shift from year to year.
Gather the required documents ahead of time, including the learner's birth certificate, immunisation records, latest report, and proof of address.

Provincial placement processes govern the relevant intake grade intake for the 2027 academic year, so allow time between applying and receiving confirmation.
