AANSOEKPROSEDURE
GRAAD 8 (2026)-AANSOEKE

Aansoeke vir Graad 8 2026 open op Dinsdag, 11 Maart 2025.

Geagte voornemende ouers

Die Hoërskool Parel Vallei het 1461 aansoeke ontvang vir 260 plekke in graad 8 vir 2026 – ons kan nie almal akkommodeer nie. Alle ouers wat nie ‘n e-pos ontvang het wat aanvaarding in Parel Vallei vir graad 8 2026 aandui nie, word aangeraai om enige plek wat hulle by ‘n ander skool aangebied word, te aanvaar. Die kompetisie vir plekke is baie straf.

Ronde 2 van aanvaardings eindig op 1 Augustus 2025, waarna die WKOD na alle ongeplaasde leerders sal omsien en u word aangemoedig om hulle so gou as moontlik te kontak. Parel Vallei sal voortgaan om leerders volgens ons toelatingsbeleid te plaas en individuele gesinne sal gekontak word soos plekke beskikbaar word.

Die Hoërskool Parel Vallei sal appèlbriewe na 1 Augustus 2025 ontvang soos ons die laaste oorblywende plekke vul.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
GRADE 8 (2026) APPLICATIONS

Applications for Grade 8 2026 opens on Tuesday, 11 March 2025.

Dear prospective parents

Parel Vallei High School received 1461 applications for 260 places in gr8 for 2026 – we cannot accommodate everybody. All parents who have not received an email indicating acceptance into Parel Vallei for gr8 2026 are advised to accept whatever place they are offered at another school. Competition for places is very stiff.

Round 2 of acceptances ends on the 1st August 2025 after which the WCED attends to all unplaced learners, and you are encouraged to contact them as soon as possible. Parel Vallei will continue to place learners according to its Admission Policy and individual families will be contacted as places become available.

Parel Vallei will receive letters of appeal after 1 August as we fill the last remaining places.
