SELECTIVE HIGH SCHOOL TEST

Selective High Test ~ Thursday 10th March

The Selective High School Placement Test will be conducted on Thursday 10 March 2022. Due to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 and to support community safety, Artarmon Public School students will be tested at school on this day. There are no external venues.

The test will be delivered in the usual paper-based format. Students will be divided amongst Year 6 classrooms, according to the place number allocated to them by the High Performing Students Team. All Year 6 teachers will follow the same procedures for the test.

Test authority letters were sent to all applicants by email on the evening of 24 February 2022. Please check your spam folder if you did not find the email. Please message the High Performing Students Team urgently if you have not received your child’s test authority email.

If your child will be taking part in this process, please ensure that they:

  • Arrive at school as usual, before 8:55 am
  • Bring two lead pencils, an eraser, and a sharpener to school that day
  • Bring their test authority letter, which contains their student number, to hand to their supervising teacher
  • Has a clear bottle of water, glasses, asthma inhaler and spacer, if required
  • Has their normal recess, crunch and sip and lunch for the day

Some students become quite anxious about tests and changes to routine. Please ensure your child has regular bedtimes and nutritious food, as usual, in the lead up to the test day.

Students will be asked to meet in the McMillan playground upon the bell. They will already be informed of the teacher who will supervise them during the test and the room they will attend.

Year 6 students who are not taking the test, will be supervised during this time.

If you have any additional questions, please refer to the Selective High Schools and Opportunity Classes website (https://education.nsw.gov.au/public-schools/selective-high-schools-and-opportunity-classes) or contact the school.

We wish all test candidates well in these exams.
