Candidate Assessment. The assessment is based on a personal interview with the candidate, an academic transcript or report, and references from the previous school. When necessary, the candidate will undertake an entrance test. A trial day/period is recommended to ensure a smooth transition. If there are learning difficulties, social-emotional or other needs, this should be communicated to the admissions team at the time of initiating the application. 3. Acceptance and Enrolment.
