How to register for other grades beside Grade 1 or Grade 8?

At this school, registrations for Grades in between is handled directly by the school administration team, rather than through the GDE. When you register your child, they carefully assess the current number of students in the desired class, including those who have advanced from the previous grade and any students who may need to repeat the year. To consider new registrations, they use a first-come, first-served basis and a waiting list to ensure a fair and organised process.

When do I know if my child is accepted to the school?

After the completion of exams, between November and December. The administrative team carefully reviews the progress of the current students to determine how many will advance to the next grade. They then open up available spots to new applicants from outside the school. Each application is thoroughly considered, and valid applications are placed on a waiting list, which they manage on a first-come, first-served basis.

How much are the fees for this school?

Quantile 1 to 3: All schools in these quantiles receive R1,602 per learner annually from the Department of Education.

Quantile 5: Similar to Quantile 4, no-fee schools receive R1,602 per learner annually, and fee-paying schools receive R803 per learner.
