First-interview information

9 Sep 2026 · school website

First interview

All eligible applicants; individual time by notice

Second interview

About 500 applicants · Nov 2026

These are published general arrangements. A school notice sent directly to an applicant controls any personal interview, document or registration task.

Keep the completed application record

The 2027/28 JC1 application closed at 22:00 on 14 August 2026 after opening at 10:00 on 27 July. Keep the confirmation page, payment record and school emails for follow-up enquiries. These past dates are a record of the completed window, not a reopened application.

The next public follow-up is 9 September, when the school asks parents to check its website for first-interview information. Information-day registration, application submission and interview notices are separate stages.

Understand the first-round arrangement

The official information says all eligible applicants will be invited to a first interview. This describes the scope of invitation, not a published appointment for each child. Monitor the school's formal channels after submission and check that its email does not enter a junk folder.

Set 9 September as an information-lookup reminder; it is not the interview appointment. Add travel, reporting time and officially required documents only after the notice is received.

Second round in November

The school currently says that about 500 applicants will be invited to a second interview in November 2026. This is a cohort size and month, not an individual qualification or exact date. Keep November as a possible stage and make a firm arrangement only after invitation.

Do not carry forward a previous-cycle second-round date or convert “about 500” into an individual admission probability. The published process does not support either inference.

Preparation boundaries

Families can support a stable routine, natural communication, listening and practical scheduling. They should not seek or circulate confidential questions. This guide does not publish “guaranteed admission”, insider or guaranteed-progression claims.

From first-interview information to the second-round notice

1. Keep the completed application and payment confirmation.
2. Check the school website on 9 September for first-interview information.
3. Follow the official notice for the individual date, time and required documents.
4. After the first round, wait for a formal second-round invitation.
5. Keep basic November flexibility and create a firm event only after notice.
