Enrolment 2021: 

The Enrolment process for 2021 will open on Thursday 25 June 2020, at 08h00, and closes midnight on Saturday 25 July 2020 for all grades.

Grade 1 enrolments will once again be an ONLINE process. 

Grade 1 enrolments:  The parent will need to go online ( www.gdeadmissions.gov.za ) on the 25 June 2020 and register themselves as a parent, register their child as a learner, then complete the online application form.  Once this is done, the parent will need to come to the school, where they will be given a plastic sleeve with an application form to take home and complete.  Documents photocopied must be placed in the plastic sleeve, with the application form, and returned to the school for further processing.  This needs to be done within 7 school days of registering online.

Grade 2 - 7 enrolments: This process is a manual process which closes on 25 July 2020. Parents will need to come to the school, where they will be given a plastic sleeve with an application form to take home and complete.  Documents photocopied must be placed in the plastic sleeve, with the application form, and returned to the school for further processing.

It is essential that the following documentation accompany the Application forms when submitted.  Failure to do so will result in you being sent away to complete the process.

Essential documentation:

 2 copies  Application for Admission form

 2 copies of the Birth certificate of the new learner

 2 copies of ID document of both parents

 2 copies of the Clinic card with the child's name and inoculations clearly seen (Grade 1 only). - If, however, your child is not the right age for the booster, submit the clinic card as is and then submit an updated copy when done.

 2 copies of the latest report (Grade 2 - 7only).

 2 copies of older child’s school report (if there is a sibling in the school)

 2 copies of the relevant Residence/Study Permit if you are an Immigrant

 2 copies of proof of residence in our area with the street address. No box number will be accepted. If you are renting a property, you will need to provide 2 copies of a signed letter from the owner stating that you are renting plus proof that the owner owns the property.

Please Note:  ALL DOCUMENTS LISTED ABOVE NEED TO BE CERTIFIED.

Admission of Non-Citizens:  The admission of non-citizens will be dealt with according to the relevant legislation and regulations, e.g. provide the relevant Residence Permit / Study Permit.

Grade 8 Enrolments - 2021:  Enrolments for Grade 7 pupils going into GDE High Schools for Grade 8 will open the same day as Grade 1 applications open.  This opens on Thursday 25 June 2020 at 08h00 and closes midnight on Saturday 25 July 2020.

This is also an on-line process.  Please contact the High Schools in your area to establish what documentation is required from you in order for you to be ready, once enrolments open. 

Do not risk being rejected by your school of choice or finding out that you are too late to apply for your nearest school.  It is an important process and not to be left to the last minute.
