Submit an application via 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 Friday, 30 May 2025, and transfer requests by 17 September 2025. Parents are informed of the status of their application via SMS or email via the WCED online portal between 30 May and Tuesday, 10 June 2025.
Step 3
Parents of successful applicants must confirm their acceptance on the WCED online portal, by Tuesday, 17 June 2025, and successful transfer requests by 30 September 2025. Places not confirmed by parents by the deadline will be offered to other learners. WBJS will then communicate directly with parents.
Step 4
A successful application, Where parents have accepted the place, 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 7 school days after confirmation.

- WBJS and its Governing Body have the right to reject applications if parents submit false/untrue information or fraudulent documents.
