The Gauteng Department of Education is calling out all parents to apply as soon as the admission process opens on 1 August 2011, because of high demand and limited space.
The admission process for 2012 will open on 1 August 2011 and close on 30 September 2011.
If your child is going to school for the first time in 2012 (going to Grade R or 1) or proceeding from a primary school to a high school (Grade 8) or even moving to a new school, register at the school nearest to your home between 1 August 2011 and 30 September 2011.
Documentation required for admissions:
- Birth certificate or certified copy (a baptismal certificate is not acceptable proof)
- Proof of residence
- Immunisation card
- Legal immigrants – study permits
- Transfer card and/or
- Last report card.
Applicants will be placed on waiting lists ‘A' or ‘B'. Waiting list ‘A' is for applications from learners who live in the feeder area of the school. Those outside the feeder area will be placed on waiting list ‘B'. Ensure that the school provides you with an acknowledgement letter for your application, which must reflect a waiting list number.
Upon application, parents will receive a reference number which indicates their position in the queue.
The GDE has also published proposed amendments to the existing admission regulations. The public and stakeholders have 30 days to comment on the proposed amendments which will come into effect in time to manage the admission process for the 2013 schooling year.
