Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is not one permanent published pass mark; annual thresholds are set for the school.
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.
Qualifying for consideration is not the same as securing an eventual 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.
