Don’t independent schools select academically talented students ahead of other applicants for enrolment?
Independent schools are almost completely non-selective. Some independent schools offer academic scholarships, but there are no Queensland independent schools that enrol only a select clientele as, for example, do the recently established state school senior academies in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, or the New South Wales selective academic state high schools. Many parents of academically talented students enrol them at independent schools, but that is by parental choice, not selection by the schools.
