Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is not always an immediately published lowest offer score on National Offer Day.
Qualifying as selective-eligible is only the first hurdle. Final allocation depends on oversubscription criteria, and distance from the school is frequently the deciding factor.
A qualifying-style test result is not the same as knowing the final score needed for an offer.
Parents often assume the highest scorers get priority. In practice, once a child meets the selective threshold, proximity to the school can matter more than raw score.
