• In the event that the student is eligible to join HBIS, parents will be informed of further details regarding payments and documents required.
• Admission to HBIS is based upon the student’s completed assessment with a standardized benchmark of 65% for Year 1 to 8 and from Years 9 to 12 will be 70%.
If the student/students in Years 1 through 8 score above 55% but less that 65%, the parent/parents will have to sign probation letter which clearly states that the school recommends Summer School Program for their child/children, which is usually held during the first 2 weeks of August.
• The letter also states that their child/children will be placed on Academic Probation throughout the first term of the upcoming academic year and will be placed in the Student Support Center during school days, unless his/her performance reaches the academic level required.
• Students applying for Foundation Stages will be assessed as per the child’s stage of development in relation to their chronological age by a member of the Early Years staff.
• At HBIS, we admit children according the following age range. By the 1st of October:
FSI: Age 3.6 by October 1st
