The admissions process
No student is admitted without passing the entry assessment or interview.
Register
Register your child with the school. Registration is open throughout the year.
Entry assessment or interview
Your child sits our admission assessment and/or an interview, based on general knowledge of the subjects at the level of the class they are applying for. It helps us see their strengths and where they may need support.
Leaving certificate or last report
Bring a school leaving certificate, or the progress and promotion report from your child's previous school, to show they are ready for the next class.
Pay fees and join
Pay the admission fees listed below at the time of admission, and your child can start.
