The criteria for shortlisting is based on the priorities of the QIS Admissions Policy
In addition to this the school will shortlist students who are highly motivated, demonstrating outstanding potential with excellent attendance reports and high performance.
Family Applications
When reviewing family applications we will look at each child’s report before shortlisting and will proceed accordingly, based on the overall performance and not individually.
The same principle will then be followed for the final selections. The school will accept or reject the application based on all of the family members’ assessment results and not indvidually. This means it will either be a successful application for the whole family or not.
