Offer Placement

Applicants will be notified of the placement result from the school within two weeks from the date of interview. Two important factors are given consideration in qualifying applicants-academics and character. Academically, previous grades, transcripts, standardised test scores, scores of the written placement tests, language proficiency in English and Chinese, and outstanding academic achievements are taken into account. In terms of character, the school will review the learning attitude, motivation and discipline of the applicants. Considerations are also given to whether the applicants are the siblings of currently enrolled students, their co-curriculum activities’ involvement.

Enrolment is contingent upon successful completion of the current school year, satisfactory academic progress and behaviour. The school reserves the right to review the application and final discretion for all admissions rests with the school.
