For BECE and NPSE pupils, this will be done on the day of interview. Pupils are expected to bring along all required documents on the day of interview and are expected to be in their previous school uniform when coming for interview.
Shortlisted applicants are expected to be on the school ground on time with their parent(s) or gaurdian(s). They should be neatly dressed in their previous school's uniform and should bring along with them all necssary documents as stated in the notice or check them out on the top right of this page.
