The former directgrant grammar school has introduced a day-long entrance assessment in an attempt to guard against candidates being over-tutored, with the entrance test as a 'second-stage admission process'.

The admission process involves filling out an application form and being interviewed by the principal and teachers.

Eligible incoming first year students will receive a letter of invitation during the admission process.

The outcome of the admission process may affect a student's future career trajectory considerably.

In recent years, the parental anxiety created by the highly competitive admission process has been the subject of repeated press coverage.
