Admissions, Applications and Requirements
Parents apply to schools directly, but the district and circuit offices can help if your child has not been placed, if you need to lodge an admissions appeal, or if a school refuses an application. Start with the school, then the circuit office, then the district office.
- Apply for Grade R, Grade 1 and Grade 8 in the year before your child starts.
- Bring the learner’s birth certificate or ID, the parent’s ID, proof of address and the latest report.
- Keep proof of every application, such as a stamped copy or acknowledgement.
