Year 7 Enrolment

Year 7 placements are administered by the Selective Schools Unit (Telephone 9707 6262 Fax 9707 6265 email ssu@det.nsw.edu.au) Year 7 placement is based on primary school assessments and state-wide examinations in Mathematics, English, Writing and general aptitude.

Interested parents of Year 5 students should obtain an application package from their state primary school, any selective school and district offices. The application package can also be downloaded from the Selective School Unit Website. Sample questions from past Selective Schools Placement tests are also available on the SSU website. The application form inside the package should be completed and returned to the child’s primary school by the closing date shown on the application package. 

Interested parents and prospective students of Year 7 2015 are welcome to attend a school tour.

Years 8 – 12 Enrolment

Very few vacancies occur in Years 7 – 10. Application to be placed on a waiting list, should a vacancy occur, must be made on the application form available from the school’s website or from the school’s office.

Applications for 2014 are available on 25 June 2013 and are due to the school by 3pm on

30 July 2013. Late applications will not be accepted.

 

The St George Girls High School application form requires a number of documents and information to support the application. In order to be considered, applications must be accompanied by a non-refundable administration fee. Applications for 2013 have now closed.

 

The applications are assessed by a selection panel which includes the Principal, the Deputy Principal responsible for that year and a parent representative. The selection panel considers all applications and forms a short list which is then ranked in merit order. As vacancies rarely occur in Years 7 – 10, the waiting lists are kept short. If a vacancy occurs, the next applicant on the merit list is contacted and offered a place. If offered a place in Years 8 – 11, students and parents can contact the school to arrange a visit.
