Additionally, entrance assessments are required for certain year groups. The English International Stream (EIS) is very selective. Assessment invitations for the EIS are sent to parents based on the admissions priority. If a child is not offered an assessment due to long waitlists, the application can be deferred to the next available year group at no additional cost and the original date will be retained. A place will not be offered to applicants who fail to provide the [recommendation] form. All students joining GSIS must be in possession of a valid Hong Kong ID card allowing unconditional stay or must have a valid passport with authorised residency status. For all students attending the Pok Fu Lam Campus, it is a requirement to use the school bus. The Peak Campus students have the option to use the school bus service.
