The Church Schools Admissions Office is announcing a new schedule for the Church Schools admission ballots. All ballots will be streamed live on www.church.mt from a studio with the least possible people, which means no parents will be allowed to attend, due to the restrictions which are currently in place as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. A notary will be present throughout the ballot process.
The first ballots to be held are the participation ballots, for girls and boys, for admission into Form 1. These will take place on Wednesday, 1st April 2020. The ballot for girls will start at 9:30am and will be followed by the ballot for boys which will start at 10:30am, or immediately after the ballot for girls if the latter has not yet ended by then.

The participation ballot for girls for admission into Year 1 will be held on Thursday, 2 April 2020, and will start at 9:30am. Dates of other ballots will be published in the coming days. Click here to watch this ballot live.
The video of the ballots will remain available online for future reference. The results will also be published the day after the ballot has taken place, on the Church Schools webpage. The list of applicants who will be participating in these ballots can be accessed here.

The date for the ballots for Serious Cases is yet to be announced.
* There is no Participation ballot in this section because there are no applicants from a non-continuity school and/or applicants whose parents work in a Church school where their children cannot attend. For example, a parent works in a boys’ school, so the daughter cannot attend the same school. Other applicants participate in the Choice of School ballot.
Other applicants take part in the Choice of School Ballot. When there is no Participation ballot, the other applicants take part in the Choice of School ballot. Those who come first will choose a school, as long as there are vacant places.
