Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no clearly published official pass mark in the supplied sources.
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.
Scholarships are not awarded from entrance exam results alone in the current scholarships wording.
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.
Bursary waiting-list references in the policy do not automatically describe general admissions waiting-list movement.
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.
