Scholarship

Scholarship Exams

Various schools offer very few scholarships for academic excellence. Different schools have different criteria for selection. Along with academic excellence, overall engagement in sport, co-curricular programs, community service and contribution to school service may also be taken into consideration.
The exams are generally conducted at grade 6 level for year 7 entry.

A word of caution

Edutest is the most common testing agency for these exams.
This can result in an anomaly where students opting for one of these scholarship exams on one hand and SEAL entrance exam on the other are allowed to take the exam only once and the marks in the exam are considered for the other selection also.
For example a student ‘X’ applies for the scholarship program for Westbourne Grammar and also for the SEAL program at Werribee Secondary College. Thus the students ‘X’ takes the exam conducted by Edutest in February for Westbourne Grammar scholarship Program . This student will not be allowed to undertake the exam for Werribee Secondary College SEAL Program conducted by Edutest despite the two programs being totally different.
Students may lose their chance at SEAL entrance exams due to this reason.

We consider these exams to be important milestones in each student’s academic journey. Please note that at this stage, we do not run separate classes specifically for scholarship exams. Our overall learning is structured around the Year 8 Selective Entry Exam model, with the curriculum carefully extended at every grade level.

The key focus areas include Verbal Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, Numerical Reasoning/Quantitative Ability, and Writing (both Persuasive and Narrative). In addition, English Grammar, though not an exam component, is incorporated to strengthen students’ writing accuracy and overall communication skills.

Many of our students, both in recent years and in the past, have successfully secured a variety of scholarships through this pathway. Furthermore, our online database of competition-style questions serves as an invaluable resource to enhance exam preparedness for Scholarship, SEAL, and other academic competitions—helping students develop both speed and accuracy.
