From midnight on Friday 26 March, the Western Cape Education Department’s 2022 online admissions application system will close.

Applications can be made either online or through a paper-based application process should a parent not have access to technology.

Parents must apply to at least three schools, including the ones closest to their home, and order their preference on the system.

Parents will be asked to submit the following supporting documents:. The last official school Report Card. ID, Birth certificate, passport of the learner. A study permit (foreign learners). Proof of application (study permit) or a police affidavit. Immunisation card (Road to Health Chart, Primary School applications only).. Proof of residence (rates account, lease agreement, an affidavit confirming residence).

Schools are able to capture applications of undocumented learners. Parents are advised to submit such applications directly to schools for capturing.

The WCED has created two video tutorials to assist parents to navigate both the registration and application process online.
