How entry works

  • Year 7: parents apply at the end of Year 5 or the beginning of Year 6, and the child sits the Selective High School Placement Test in Year 6. An application can list up to 3 school preferences.
  • The Equity Placement Model holds up to 20% of places at each school for students from under-represented groups.

The numbers above come from the Department’s choosing your schools page (last updated 18 June 2026) and its fair access page (last updated 20 February 2026).

The full picture is in our selective test guide, and this year’s timeline is on test dates.

Is there a cut-off for St George Girls High School?

No. The NSW Department of Education does not publish a minimum entry score for any school. In its own words: “There are no set minimum entry scores to receive an offer to a selective high school or opportunity class.” Who receives an offer depends on each year’s applicants and the places available.

Preparing calmly

On its practice tests page, the Department says:

It is important to know that coaching or tutoring for the placement test is not necessary. The test will not need your child to know any new or special knowledge. So, extra paid coaching outside of school will not give your child an advantage.

The department does not recommend or endorse coaching for the placement test. There is no credible research that shows coaching helps a child gain entry. A child who is coached and gets in is likely to have got a place anyway. Many students who get coaching don’t get a place, and too much coaching can harm their wellbeing.
