Selective High Schools Placement Test
General Ability > Thinking Skills
According to the NSW Department of Education, thinking skills set the foundation for lifelong learning and support students’ agency and capacity to engage with increasing complexity.
Cambridge Thinking Skills Framework
It focused on academic thinking skills such as problem-solving skills, including numerical reasoning and critical thinking skills, including understanding argument and reasoning using everyday language.
Why Selective Schools?
Selective high schools consistently rank at the top in terms of HSC results. For example, James Ruse Agricultural High School, which is a fully selective school, has ranked NSW’s top HSC school for the 25th year in a row. The aim of selective high schools is to provide a scholastically challenging environment for more academically able students.
What are Opportunity Classes?
Opportunity classes located in government primary schools cater to academically gifted Year 5 and Year 6 students with high potential. These classes help students to learn by grouping them with students of similar ability, using specialized teaching methods and educational materials at the appropriate level.

As the curriculum is compacted, students have the opportunity to accelerate their learning – completing Year 6, 7 and sometimes even Year 9 work while they are still in Year 5 and 6. Thus, the OC class is a great opportunity for gifted students.
