Parent FAQ

When does the school accept P1 applications?

Please refer to the school website for the latest admission dates. Generally, aided schools have a discretionary admission phase before central allocation.

Is the interview mainly in English or Cantonese?

As an English-medium school, the interview likely emphasizes English, though parts may be in Cantonese. Prepare your child for English self-introduction and simple Q&A.

Does being a non-Catholic family affect the application?

Although the school has a Catholic background, public information does not indicate that only Catholic students are accepted. The interview may assess the family’s receptiveness to religious education.
