The high school years are the most formative years of a child's life. Choosing the right high school for your child is a stressful time for every parent so it's important to know the choices available to you.

Selective High Schools are designed to group high-achieving students from year 7 - 12. They are taught in specialised ways and provided more academic opportunities to succeed than mainstream schools. The placement test is taken in year 6 each year.

Reading skills are important to literacy in all learning, not just English. Students need reading skills to understand texts, but also understand math and problem solving questions. If you're having trouble with encouraging your child to read, here are some tips to try.

O.C. provides an academically enriched environment for students in year 5 and 6. In an Opportunity Class, students read more advanced books, complete more complex projects and will be surrounded by more avid learners than a mainstream class. The placement test is taken in year 4 at the end of July or early August each year.
