First, and foremost, attention to the students is a lot greater. At some of the large centers, it is not uncommon for one instructor to be working with 15 to 30 other students at the same time.
We do not believe this is a successful way to teach anybody! By working in very small groups, we are able to accomplish a lot more; the student gets a greater understanding of the material, and most importantly learns just what the student needs to know. This has ensured that we maintain the high quality of our tuition services. Our excellent results and records prove it!

How long it takes a student to catch up varies depending on the student's learning speed, learning style, and how well they retain information.

Our educators work at the fastest comfortable rate for their students. Students struggling to retain information will take longer to catch up. 

Students can join in during the Term or part way through the year. Your local Principal will be pleased to work with you to find the best option for your particular circumstances.

Selective high schools cater for high achieving academically gifted students. 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.

Opportunity classes cater for highly achieving Year 5 and Year 6 academically gifted students who may otherwise be without classmates at their own academic and social level. These classes 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.

Parents normally apply when students are in Year 4. Students who are placed then attend the opportunity class full time in Years 5 and 6 at the primary school with an opportunity class. It is a two-year placement program. In the majority of cases, students who accept a place in an opportunity class will leave their current school to attend the school with an opportunity class.

Students are usually in Year 5 at the time of applying and in Year 6 when sitting the test.

You can apply for up to three selective high schools in the order you want them.. Offers are made on the basis of your order of choice. Where students qualify for two or three schools they will get an offer only to the highest choice for which they qualify.

Students will be offered their highest listed school if they qualify for placement in more than one. Therefore it is important to list the first choice school at the top and list only schools you would like your child to attend.

The entry score required for each school varies from year to year. It depends on the number of applicants who have chosen the school on their list and the calculated placement score these students achieve. You cannot normally transfer between primary schools with opportunity classes.

If a child qualifies for both chosen schools they will be offered their first choice only. If offered the second school listed, they may also be placed on a reserve list for their first choice.

Things to consider

Prior to choosing and listing your schools you should consider your own individual circumstances, such as available transport and travel times. The selection committee does not consider distances, travel times or transport arrangements and possible social implications for the child.

All students are ranked by combining the results of primary school assessments in English and Maths and the Selective Entry Placement Test (Writing, English, Maths & General Ability). 

The High Performing Students Unit selects students based on academic merit demonstrated by a calculated placement score. This score is calculated using moderated school assessment scores and scaled results of the Opportunity Class Placement Test.

By being familiar with the OC/Selective High Schools Placement Test, the course provides an opportunity for students to acquaint themselves and prepare for the conditions, format and types of questions of the actual examination.  If a student is committed and hard-working, then the course will familiarise them with the expected tasks, and provide them with the skills, strategies and practice they require to be successful. Selective entry exams and scholarship tests are becoming increasingly competitive, and whilst there is never any guarantee, our Trial Test Course gives students the best possible chance of success.
