Application for transfer students

Guidelines for Transfer Student Admission

Applications for transfer student admission are accepted throughout the year. The forms for which applications may be submitted and the number of students to be admitted are subject to the availability of school places. Each applicant may submit only one application per school year. Applicants who are not admitted in the current school year may reapply in the following school year.

1. Documents Required

Applicants must complete and sign the School's "Transfer Student Admission Application Form" and submit it together with the following documents: (It can be obtained from the General Office or download here.)

1. one recent passport-sized photograph of the applicant;

2. photocopies of the applicant's school report cards for the two most recent school years;

3. a photocopy of the applicant's Hong Kong Identity Card or other identity document;

4. if the applicant holds a Hong Kong Identity Card other than a Hong Kong Permanent Identity Card, photocopies of valid immigration documents showing the applicant's permission to enter or remain in Hong Kong must also be submitted, such as a dependant visa/entry permit together with an Exit-entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao, or a One-way Permit;

5. photocopies of other certificates or awards, if any.

Applicants must ensure that all copies submitted are clear and legible. The School may require applicants to produce the original documents for verification where necessary.

2. Submission of Applications

Applicants or their parents are advised to submit the completed application form and the required supporting documents to the School General Office in person and pay the administration fee for the admission test.
