To secure your child’s place, pay the full school fees as per the Pro Forma Invoice received with the Acceptance Offer Letter. Please also return the Admissions Agreement and Insurance Form, along with necessary documents and photographs.
After confirming, new students can buy uniforms, textbooks and exercise books at the bookstore. We’ll also take a photo of your child in their uniform for their Student ID Card.
The first day is here. The Admissions team will greet you and your child at the reception area on the ground floor and take you to your classroom to meet your buddy. Welcome aboard!
Our admissions process is straightforward and supportive. We walk families through every step, from their first questions to finalising enrolment, making sure everyone feels comfortable and informed. It’s all about ensuring a smooth start and a warm welcome to our school community.
