Fees

Annual tuition at Diocesan Girls' Junior School ranges from HKD 86,000 for 2026/27.

Application fees
- A non-refundable application fee is charged for each Primary 1 application: HK$210, payable online by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or JCB).

Tuition fees (per year / per instalment / per year group)
- Annual tuition: HK$86,000 per annum for the current school year. The school applies the same published annual fee across the junior-year groups (Primary 1–Primary 6).
- Billing format: the annual tuition is payable in ten instalments. This corresponds to HK$8,600 per instalment (HK$86,000 ÷ 10); the school states fees are payable in ten instalments rather than publishing a termly amount.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school specifies that the annual fee is payable in ten instalments; an itemised term-by-term schedule (dates and invoice months) and any published late-payment penalty are not provided on the public admissions/general information pages.
- Where fee remission is approved, the effective month of remission is the month following approval (i.e., remission applies from the next instalment month after approval). The school advises that fee-remission application results are normally released about two months after receipt of applications.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The school operates as a whole-day (non-residential) junior/primary school and does not publish any boarding or hostel arrangements or boarding charges.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, lunches, transport, books, extracurriculars)
- The school does not publish a single public, itemised schedule of charges for uniforms, textbooks, lunches, school-bus service or extracurricular activity fees on its general information and admissions pages. Parents should expect separate charges where third-party suppliers or optional activities are involved.

Refund information
- No separate, publicly posted refund policy or an itemised refund/withdrawal schedule for paid school fees or registration deposits is published on the school's admissions, FAQ or general-information pages.

Fee payment options
- Application payments (Primary 1) are accepted online by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or JCB) for the stated application fee.
- The school's public pages that state the annual fee and instalment arrangement do not publish a complete list of accepted payment channels (for example, bank transfer, cheque, FPS/Autopay or credit-card acceptance for recurring tuition instalments is not listed on those pages). Parents should rely on the school's admissions or finance office for the formal list of accepted payment methods and exact billing dates.

Fee remission / financial assistance
- A school fee-remission scheme exists: partial or full fee remission may be granted to families with genuine financial need, and the scheme uses defined annual family-income thresholds and family-size criteria to determine the remission level. The school provides a formal application process and specific income brackets for 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% remission levels. Results are normally issued about two months after application and, if approved, remission takes effect from the following instalment month.

Academics

Diocesan Girls' Junior School teaches British Curriculum.

Curriculum
Diocesan Girls' Junior School places a strong emphasis on biliteracy in English and Chinese and promotes trilingualism, with English as the medium of instruction for most subjects while Chinese, General Studies II, and Putonghua are taught in Chinese. Putonghua is included across the curriculum, with a Putonghua stream in learning Chinese from Primary Four to Primary Six and Hanyu Pinyin taught from Primary One, complemented by lunchtime Putonghua chat rooms. The formal curriculum is organized around core strands—Literacy, Numeracy, Science and Technology, Performing Arts, and Environmental Education—with General Studies I for Primary 1–3 and General Studies II for Primary 4–6, and Information and Computer Technology integrated throughout. Project-based learning is embedded across Science and Technology and General Studies, including annual year-level projects and a year-end science exhibition. A Primary 6 Code-to-Care (C2C) Programme embedded in ICT combines computational thinking and community-oriented app design, with parent mentoring workshops.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Online application and eligibility. The DGJS online admission system is accessed at admission.dgjs.edu.hk and the online application period for Primary One admission is from August 15 to August 26, 2025. Only girls born between September 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020 are eligible to apply; applicants should not submit if the child is outside this age range. Parents must send the required documents to the School by Registered Post or Courier Service between August 15 and August 27, 2025; applications with stamps or postage shortfalls received after August 27 will not be processed. After submission, print the Portfolio Cover Sheet and Portfolio Summary Form for hard-copy submission if required, and consult the Notes to Applicants section in the system for any additional requirements. The admissions portal and status updates are accessed through the DGJS Online Admission System.

2. Scheduling and conducting the first interview. Following the online application, the school communicates the first interview date and time on the portal's Stage 2 page; parents should log in after 6:00 pm on September 24, 2025 to view the latest details. The initial interview is the first formal assessment of applicants, with the session video shown to attending parents during the visit. A single parent accompanies the child to the interview, and the day's schedule is posted in the portal to help families plan. Parents should monitor the portal for any updates and follow notes in the system for exact instructions.

3. First interview results and subsequent steps. The first interview results are released on November 3, 2025 after 4:00 pm; you can log in to the online admission system and check Stage 3: First Interview Result for the latest details. The portal also indicates that some applicants may be invited to a second interview, while others may proceed directly based on the portfolio and interview performance. If you are on the reserve list, you may be invited to a third round of interview if the school requires further information. After the interview outcomes are published, the system will provide next-step instructions and any applicable notes to applicants.

4. Outcome types and next steps. The DGJS FAQ confirms three possible interview results: an offer list, a reserve list (waitlist), or a rejected list. Applicants on the reserve list may be invited to a third round of interview if needed. The portal notes provide the specific steps and deadlines once a place is offered, including how to proceed with enrollment. Overall, acceptance and enrollment are processed through the online system with communications posted under Stage statuses and the Notes to Applicants section.

Scholarships
Scholarships and financial support are available in two related strands. DGJS itself offers bursaries (fee remission) for families with financial need, intended to enable access to the DGJS program; retention depends on ongoing academic effort and conduct. In parallel, the Diocesan Girls' School (the senior school feeder) provides a broad scholarship program, including DSS-funded scholarships such as the DGS S1 Entrance Scholarship, and non-DSS-funded scholarships, exhibitions, and other named awards. These DGS scholarships cover various categories (academic, leadership, music, sports, and service) and are available to students who progress to DGS, with some awards requiring an entrance scholarship examination. There are also additional scholarships and exhibitions sponsored by the DOGA, PTA, and other benefactors. See the DGS information on scholarships for details, including the existence of unlimited bursaries and multiple named scholarships.

Waitlist
Yes. DGJS uses a reserve list (waitlist) as part of its Primary One admissions outcomes. Applicants are categorized into three result groups: offer list, reserve list, and rejected list. Those on the reserve list may be invited to a third round of interview if the school requires additional information before final decisions are made. This waitlist mechanism operates within the school's online admission portal and is explained in the FAQ.
