Admissions
Thank you for considering Cannons Creek Independent School. Since we are a community school, preference is given to families living in the Pinelands area.
Please note: applications for enrolment are encouraged and accepted at any time, but due to demand and to avoid disappointment, we suggest you apply as early as possible.
The feel of a school is always so important. It’s not so much what there is, but how it makes you feel. Experience our pupils, experience our staff, experience what Cannons Creek is all about.

POINTS OF ADMISSION
In Grade 8 we admit approximately eight pupils, so that our class sizes remain small – 20 per class in the High School, with two classes per grade. We also admit a few pupils into Grade 7, as our High School begins at this phase.
Grade RR admission assessments take place from April onwards, but we would advise submitting your application ASAP.
Pupils from the Pre-Primary School are granted automatic entry into the Primary School, and pupils from Grade 6 are granted automatic entry into the High School. The Principal has the right to refuse entry in certain circumstances such as payment record, disciplinary record and academic performance. Should there not be space, pupils’ names will be added to a waiting list.
Entry in subsequent grades will be subject to vacancies.
