What to do if you have received an offer of a place

"If you have received an offer of a place for your child, a button will be visible that will allow you to confirm and accept the place.

"Parents who have been offered a place must confirm their choice of school by 14 June 2024. After this date, their highest-ranked choice of school will be automatically confirmed," says the WCED.

The online admissions system is now closed for Grade 1 and 8 applications. However, parents can still apply for 2025 by applying either at one of our Education District offices or at a school. The schools are able to capture your application, however, this does not confirm acceptance.
