Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no published pass mark or guaranteed offer score for Year 7 entry.
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.
Registration alone does not secure a place; offers remain subject to availability and admissions requirements.
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.
For this school, waiting-list position is influenced by registration timing.
This means there's no single pass mark to aim for. Preparation should focus on performing strongly across all areas rather than targeting a specific number.
