Intention to apply for Year 7 entry to a selective high school in 2018                                                                                                                                         

 

Dear Parent/Carer

Selective high schools cater for highly achieving academically gifted students who may otherwise be without classmates at their own academic and social level. These schools help gifted and talented students to learn by grouping them with other gifted and talented students, teaching them in specialised ways and providing educational materials at the appropriate level.

Applications for selective high school placement are considered mainly on the basis of the Selective High School Placement Test results and school assessment scores. The Selective High School Placement Test will be held on Thursday 9 March 2017.

If you would like to have your child considered for Year 7 selective high school entry in 2018, you need to do so soon. You will need to apply on the internet using a valid email address (not the student's email address).

Detailed instructions on how to apply online will be available from 11 October 2016 in a printed application information booklet and at www.schools.nsw.edu.au/shsplacement. The application website opens on

 

11 October 2016 and closes on 14 November 2016..

 

No late applications will be accepted.

 

There are no paper application forms. If you do not have internet access, you could apply at a public library. If you have a disability that prevents you from using a computer, you can contact the Unit for assistance after 11 October 2016.

You must submit only ONE application for each student. Remember the tear-off strip below is not an application and the school cannot apply on your behalf.

 

Yours sincerely Principal
