HSH Application Guide

Please apply online at WCED website as soon as possible and as comprehensively as possible - and within the stated time frames - to ensure your application will be considered. Since we are oversubscribed, the admissions policy is in the learner's best interest and aimed at avoiding discrimination, focusing on aspects such as natural feeding area of the school, educational language, achievements, bus routes and hostel application. Late applications may be considered only if a vacancy arises in a particular grade.

Applications are closed for 2026 and we were completely oversubscribed. Applications for 2027 opens Mar 2026.
