Choose preferences

An applicant may choose a maximum of 3 preferences for Gifted and Talented programs from the academic, arts and languages options in their online application. Preferences can be a mixture of program areas (for example, academic and arts) or only one (for example, academic).

Parents are advised to carefully consider their choice of preferences on the online application as these will determine the testing their child will be invited to attend. Children can only be considered for programs they have completed testing for.

While all programs are available for Year 7 entry, some programs may not be available to select as a preference in the older years if the schools report they have no vacancies available. Further information regarding:
