SELECTIVE SCHOOL/SCHOLARSHIP TRAINING

Our popular program has helped many students in Year 7-10 achieve success in scholarship programs and selective entry schools including Melbourne High School, The Mac Robertson's Girls' High School, Nossal High School and Suzanne Cory High School.

Our program also caters to preparing Year 5 and 6 students for the Accelerated Programs including:

  • Caroline Chisholm Catholic College (ASPIRE)
  • Braybrook College (SEEK)
  • Keilor Downs College (SEAL)
  • St Alban's Secondary College (SEAL)
  • Victoria University Secondary College (SEAL)
  • The University High School (Acceleration Program)

The key differentiating factor is our commitment in developing students’ content knowledge. Without a firm grasp on the foundational concepts, many students will struggle with practice test questions. We aim to help students improve their knowledge base so that they are able to complete practice test questions with confidence, efficiency and accuracy.

Students will be completing test style questions in conjunction with building their content knowledge. Our tutors also spend ample time going through corrections to help students identify strategies and techniques to tackle these questions.
