Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
This is not a published-score admissions model with a stated pass mark.
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.
Places are not guaranteed just because applications can be made at any time.
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.
At some stages, oversubscription and waiting lists apply.
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.
