Applications: Grade 8
The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) application period has closed.
Applicants who qualify for admission to Grade 8, 2025 can expect to receive an SMS from the Gauteng Department of Education. Parents must accept the offer online by logging in to their profile on the GDE’s website: www.gdeadmissions.gov.za.
Once you have accepted online, the school will email an Acceptance Letter to parents.
Offers will be made until the school has reached capacity.
When a parent applies to a school for their child, the placement criteria is ranked as follows:
1. Home address within the school’s feeder zone
2. Sibling
3. Work address within the school’s feeder zone
4. Home address within a 30km radius
5. Home address beyond a 30km radius
Placement is based on weighted criteria which prioritises applicants who live in the feeder zone first.
Due to the high volume of applications received that meet the requirements of criteria point 1 above, placement will be based on proximity of the applicant’s residential address to the school. In other words, applicants who live closest to the school will be placed first until the school reaches capacity.
If capacity is not reached based on criteria 1 above, the subsequent ranking criteria will be applied.
