Screening & Assessments

Our school may choose to undertake screening and assessments to determine the right placement of an applicant.  After a student has been registered and required paperwork submitted, students entering Years 3 to Year 9 may be asked to complete a placement test (CAT 4 Exam).  Students entering Foundation Stage 2, Y01 and Y02 will meet in groups with a member of the educational team.    

The screening and assessment of a student is set-up through the admission office and decisions are determined by the admission committee.  After this step, a student may be offered a seat, placed on the waitlist, or denied.

Previous Schooling

All new students must provide official documentation of previous school experience, report card, and test scores. All documents provided must be in English. The school may request certification of translation from the Consulate of the country in which the student last attended to meet admission requirements.
