Secondary School Enrolments, Scholarships & References for Y8s
The city’s secondary schools are now posting on their websites their enrolment and scholarship details for 2018.

Please be aware that most schools have deadlines – some as early at May and they observe these strictly, regarding punctuality as an indication of a family’s commitment to their school. Late enrolments are seldom accepted other than in exceptional circumstances.

If you have any questions about your child’s options for secondary school, please speak to their home room teacher in the first instance.

References: Children entering for scholarships usually require references, and some schools require these for general enrolment, too. While the principal and teachers are happy to provide these, they do require plenty of warning ahead of any deadlines as these take significant time if they are to be written well. Also, please note that staff should be asked in person, not by email. Apart from this being a matter of courtesy, staff will wish to discuss the elements required for a child’s reference to they can best meet the enrolment or scholarship outlines.

All boys are welcome to attend, regardless of their secondary school intentions..
