Applications

During the year our applications are processed in the following way:

Pre-Grade and Grade 1:
Interview & Entrance Assessment.
Grades 2 - 12:
Interview & Entrance Exam (Term 2)


Timetable (Grades 1 - 12)

We follow a 7 day cycle, which provides for maximum lessons and allows for additional non-examination subjects to be included in the curriculum.

From Grade 1 each school day with a compulsory registration period in each classroom, which allows time for a Bible reading and prayers as well as for the discussion of any relevant matters.
