Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (3 Viewers)

Hence just reaching out here, to see if anyone received offer from reserve list towards end of year?

Yup - I got a reserve offer about 4-5 weeks ago. But that was for the test this year, not last year.

Thanks for explaining
Yes, so that’s what I mean: reserve lists ended Term 1 this year. And if, like you explained, people left after that, there are spots. Just wondering when schools start to process their numbers and send out offers to fill those spots? It’s almost end of term now, it would be logical to send it out now as obviously no one is going to move schools the next few weeks. So if we know there are spots but still not movement from reserve list - this is what I’m confused and frustrated about. and no one is providing any information - school is saying they don’t release any info and dept of edu saying it’s managed internally. I’m just after some information so I can make plans

Alright, I think I get your question now.
Here's how spots (to my understanding) are distributed after HAST and Selective results:
- Available/Additional Spots: Year 10 and Year 7 entry have a new class arranged. For most schools, they do an additional class in Year 10, although a few might make an extra class in Year 9 or 11.
- Previously Available Spots: These are the reserve spots you're talking about. Let's say someone leaves the school in the middle of the year or amongst the HAST Migration phase (August - October). These new spots, in addition to the reserve spots from last year that may not have been fulfilled (although that's very rare) are basically the only way to get into a Selective School for Year 8, 9, or 11 entry, with maybe one or two exceptions.
A reserve list offer is given around Term 3 and is valid until the end of Term 1 next year. A spot from someone leaving the school is given to the reserve list offers, with the exception of someone leaving after Term 1. That offer is given for the next test cycle.

I'm transition leader at my school rn, so I get to be involved with all the enrollment kind of things to see who's coming into the school new, and we have gotten people still accepting places and like rejecting places now even though offers came out nearly a month ago, so it definitely depends on the school.

Basically I just work with the teacher who oversees the new students and the mentors that get assigned to each new student to make sure that the new students transition smoothly.

I am on reserve Girraween and Penrith, and Penrith is being really difficult in saying they cannot release anything. Girraween said almost the same as you, in that there could be notifications up to the last day of term
I just wanted to know if there are any places, because I have heard that there has been a person overseas almost all year and her place isn’t filled and I wondering if others have transitioned during the year etc
I am just so frustrated on the tight lipped ‘can’t release anything’ ‘we don’t know anything’ stance. It’s unfair being that restrictive because how can people plan anything

 

[Rick Mendoza]

uh no?

dammit
