The placement process for opportunity class entry in 2021, including the Opportunity Class Placement Test, has been delayed due to the impact of COVID-19.
Due to the shorter time frame, changes have been made to the placement process for opportunity classes that will apply for 2020 applicants only. These include:
- A new date for online applications. Parents must apply between Tuesday 9 June 2020 and Friday 26 June 2020. Late applications cannot be accepted.
- Placement in an opportunity class will be based solely on the results of the test.
- The illness/misadventure or appeals processes will not be available.
- The executive officer of the Team and the principal of the primary school with an opportunity class will conduct the selection process.
- Offers will be made to successful students overnight on 1 December 2020.
