Dear Year 4 Parents and Carers
Information regarding the application and placement processes, for Year 5 Opportunity Class entry in 2022, has now been released.
Please find attached, a detailed PDF from the High Performing Students Unit. In this document, you will find information on the key dates, application and placement test processes and frequently asked questions.
Online applications will open on Tuesday 20th April (Term 2, Week 1) and close on Friday 7th May (Term 2, Week 3).
Once updated, online applications information will be available here: https://education.nsw.gov.au/public-schools/selective-high-schools-and-opportunity-classes/year-5
If you intend to apply for this process, the school requests that you complete the attached 'OC Intention to Apply' form. This will notify the school of your child's intention to apply, to ensure that they will receive a school mark for this process.
This 'OC Intention to Apply' form IS NOT AN OFFICIAL APPLICATION, for entry to an Opportunity Class in 2022. The school CANNOT apply on your behalf. You will still need to APPLY ONLINE when applications open.
This 'OC Intention to Apply' form is due to the school by Thursday 6th May (Term 2, Week 3), at the latest.
We suggest that once you've completed the official online application, via the High Performing Students Unit, you notify the school ASAP, by emailing the completed form to balmainps@gmail.com with 'ATTN: Ms Yau - OC Intention to Apply - Child's Name - Child's Class'.
