Admissions

All parents wishing to enroll their children at Hellenic School must complete an application form and hand it to the school office. This needs to be done as soon as is feasibly possible, to ensure admission

The selection of pupils into Hellenic School will be done with utmost strictness and there will be absolutely no exceptions. The criteria, in order of priority, are as follows:

a) Greek children who are ready for school.
	Parents need to prove that they are of Greek descent and that they have been registered with the Greek Community for a minimum period of one year, prior to submitting their application with the School. The Greek children will sit the readiness test (in the Mid Term) and will be accepted into Grade One providing they are ready for school.

b) Siblings (of children currently attending Hellenic) who are ready for school.
	This is only applicable to immediate brothers and sisters and/or stepbrothers and sisters. It does not include nephews, nieces, cousins, distant relatives or families with the same name.

c) Children who attend Hellenic Nursery School, preference being given to children meeting the criteria of Priority 1 or 2 above.

d) Children baptized in the Orthodox Faith.

e) The final selection, is based purely and strictly on merit and scores achieved on the readiness tests.

INTAKE FOR OTHER GRADES It must be fully understood that:
· All classes have a maximum size of 27 children per class.

· There are two classes per grade, therefore 54 children per grade.

No exceptions are made. If there are vacancies in any of the classes then children are admitted according to the criteria indicated above.
