FORM ONE ADMISSIONS
As a Grant-In-Aid boys’ school, Wah Yan College, Hong Kong can only admit Hong Kong male residents who are eligible for admission. We follow the Education Bureau’s Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) System. The SSPA System is divided into two stages, namely Discretionary Places (DP) and Central Allocation (CA).

Our school accepts discretionary places (DP) applications in January each year. Assessment is divided into three parts: (A) Holistic Development and Learning (30%), including: Sports, Music, Art & Creativity, Conduct, Academic and other Learning Achievements, (B) Position in Place Rank Order List provided by the EDB (20%), and (C) Individual and Group Interviews (50%).

Central Allocation (CA)
We participate in the Secondary School Places Allocation System through the Central Allocation (CA) stage in May. At this stage, Primary Six students would return their school choices via their primary schools to EDB.
Special Admissions in July
Our Form One places for Discretionary Places (DP) and Central Allocation (CA) stages are normally full. However, limited places may be available for special admissions after the release of the Central Allocation (CA) results in July for the next school year. The number of places varies every year, depending on the number of retention in Form One in the school year.
TRANSFER STUDENT ADMISSIONS
A limited number of places may be available at the end of each term of a school year. Interested applicants may submit their applications in January and from May to Jun for the two respective rounds. The selection process, including entrance tests and interviews, is conducted subsequently. The closing date, application procedures and forms can be found on the school website.
FEES
The College is government-funded and our students do not have to pay any school fees.
That being said, Tong Fai (å ‚è²») and an approved collection for specific purposes are collected in order to provide essential resources, materials, facilities and equipment. The amount in total is $750+$200 per student per annum for the current school year. There are other possible fees for activities and coach fees for sports teams and music groups.
Financial assistance is available for families experiencing short or long-term inability to pay fees. To provide quality education to everyone regardless of their family or economic background is aligned to our Vision and Mission.

SPORTS & MUSIC SCHOLARS
The titles of Sports and Music Scholars are considered high honours at Wah Yan, and our Scholars work extra hard to repay that trust. Financial support may be offered to awardees from families in need. Every year, we award the titles of Sports and Music Scholars to new entrants who excel in these fields.
SPORTS SCHOLARS
The title of Sports Scholar is offered to Form One applicants with exceptional potential in their holistic development.

Wah Yan competes both locally and internationally in the following sports: athletics, badminton, basketball, beach volleyball, cross-country, fencing, football, ice-hockey, lawn bowling, orienteering, squash, swimming, table tennis, tennis and volleyball.
MUSIC SCHOLARS
The title of Music Scholar is offered to Form One applicants on the condition that their application to the College has been successful through standard procedures. The Honour List of Music Scholars is the most sought-after among musicians at Wah Yan. Typical awardees of the Music Scholarship are competent in at least one, preferably two, musical instruments (Western or Chinese), at a level of at least Grade 6 from the Associated Board or other recognised examining organisations.
