Common mistakes parents make

Misconceptions we hear most often about this school

Misconception 1

Paying the registration fee does not secure a place.

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.

Misconception 2

There is no published pass mark for 4+ in the official material provided.

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.
