Year 5 entry to an opportunity class in 2018: applications open

Opportunity classes cater for highly achieving academically gifted students who may otherwise be without sufficient classmates at their own academic and social level. These classes help gifted and talented students to learn by grouping them with other gifted and talented students, teaching them in specialised ways and providing educational materials at the appropriate level.

Applications for opportunity class placement are considered mainly on the combined results of the Opportunity Class Placement Test and school assessments. The Opportunity Class Placement Test will be held on Wednesday 26 July 2017.

Parents who would like their child considered for Year 5 opportunity class entry in 2018, need to apply on the internet using a valid email address (not the student's email address).

Detailed instructions on how to apply online are available from 26 April 2017 at https://education.nsw.gov.au/selective-high-schools-and-opportunity-classes/year-5 .

The application website closes on Friday 12 May 2017. No late applications will be accepted.

Please contact the school office for any more information.
