What provision is made for students from non-government schools?
The selection procedures are exactly the same for all students. Principals of non-government primary schools have been asked to accept your application, add relevant school assessment scores and comments and send it to the Selective High School and Opportunity Class Placement Unit. In circumstances where this is not possible, you should complete the Application for exemption form (PDF 31kB). Students whose non-government schools do not provide school assessment scores or scores which can be moderated will be considered on the basis of their test scores and any other relevant information. • What can I do to prepare my child for the Selective High School Placement Test Children should be encouraged to familiarise themselves with the kinds of questions they will be asked. Students can practise answering the questions in the past test papers available on the Unit’s website. Students will also be given practice questions before the test begins.
