HOW DO I APPLY FOR ENROLMENT AT STRATHMORE SECONDARY COLLEGE?

2. Students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time.
3. Where the regional director has restricted the enrolment, students who reside nearest to the school.

5. All other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.
6. In exceptional circumstances, compassionate grounds.
