Admissions

2025 Admissions process – dates to remember:

Step 1

Apply to the WCED online portal https://admissions.westerncape.gov.za or wcedonline.westerncape.gov.za and rank schools in order of preference. Parents must upload copies of certified documents on the WCED online portal at the time of application.

Step 2

WCED online portal will display the outcome of all applications on the dates listed above for the different grades.

Step 3

Parents of successful applicants must confirm their acceptance on the WCED online portal, by the dates listed in the table above WBJS will then communicate directly with parents.

Step 4

Where the learner’s application was successful it will be confirmed online at WCED with an auto-generated acceptance letter, emailed to parents confirming the place for 2025. Parents must submit this letter and certified copies of supporting documents to the school within 3 school days after confirmation.

Step 5

All supporting documents for Wynberg Boys’ Junior School can be sent via e-mail or handed to Security (in a sealed envelope) within the specified time. Supporting documents include but are not limited to:

  • Learner’s unabridged birth certificate
  • Copies of both parents’ ID
  • Copies of both parents’ current residency permits if non-South African citizens
  • Proof of address (Municipal bill/Deed of Sale/Lease agreement etc) 
  • Learner’s study permit if not a South African citizen
  • Copy of Clinic Card
  • Copy of last school report (If applicable)

ALL the above documents need to be current certified copies (the time period that is deemed to be current), NOT COPIES of a certified document.

Important points to remember:

  1. There are no hard copy Application Forms for Grade R or Grade 1.
  2. Applications submitted after the closing date will be deemed a late  application and will be considered only after all on-time applications have been processed.
  3. There will be no direct communication between WBJS and parents until parents accept their successful status at WCED online.
  4. WBJS and its Governing Body have the right to reject applications if parents submit false/untrue information or fraudulent documents.
  5. WBJS strongly advises parents to apply to more than one school, so they have another possible option if the school of their choice does not have a place.
  6. WBJS encourages parents to register at the WCED online portal as early as  possible.

    Transfer guidelines:

    • Transfer requests open on 1 August and close on 16 August
    • The WCED will only consider transfer requests in the case of relocation. Learners in Grade 7 or serious cases will be considered by the circuit manager.
    • Parents will no longer be able to capture an online application for a transfer themselves.
    • Parents must complete a hard copy transfer request form and submit the completed form with the supporting documents to the school of their choice or their nearest district office. 
    • Click on the link for the  Transfer Request Form
    • Schools can only capture requests for their school. Districts can capture transfer requests for multiple schools.
    • A completed admissions form handed to a school does not automatically guarantee a space at the school if there are no available spaces as per their planned enrolment.
    • Learners who are already in a school and have applied for a transfer are not considered unplaced.
