Grade 8 Admissions 2025
Attention parents and guardians!
The 2025 Grade 8 Admissions Application Process will open at 08:00 on Thursday, 11 July 2024, and close on Monday, 12 August 2024 at midnight. All applications will be processed through the Gauteng Department of Education’s Online Admissions Application System only.
To secure your child’s spot at a school, follow these steps:
- Visit the e-portal, www.gdeadmissions.gov.za, between 11 July and 12 August.
- Upload certified copies of the required documents or submit them at the school within seven (7) days after applying online.
Required documents:
- ID / Passport / Refugee Permit / Asylum Seeker Permit / Permanent Residence Permit / Study Permit (parent(s) and/or learner).
- South African Unabridged Birth Certificate.
- Latest school report of learner.
- Proof of residential address (municipal account no older than three (3) months, in the name of the parent / legal lease agreement showing that the applicant will be living at that address in the year of admissions, signed by the landlord and tenant, proof of rent payment and statement addressed to the tenant at the same physical address).
- Proof of work address (if applicable).
NB: Applications without legitimate proof of residence will not be processed.
Please bear in mind that even though you may reside within the school’s feeder zone, it does not guarantee that your child will be allocated a space at Uitsig, as the overall capacity of the school and the distance you reside from the school are taken into consideration. Learners residing closest to the school will be placed first. If you make use of any of the other options listed below, your child will only be placed at Uitsig if space is available. It is therefore important to apply to more than one school.
Options with which parents can apply on the GDE system:
- Home address within the feeder zone.
- Siblings already enrolled at Uitsig High School/Previous School.
- Work address.
- Home address within a 30 km radius.
- Home address beyond a 30 km radius.
Remember, the application process is built on trust, and accurate information is essential.
