10-Day In-Depth Intensive Scholarship
Ten days. Reading, Writing and General Ability. Ranked every day.
A 10-day Zoom programme for Year 5 students preparing for private school scholarship exams in 2027, for 2028 entry. Students practise AAS and ACER style questions under time, sit daily ranked tests, get detailed writing feedback and prepare for the interview.
Dates and enrolment
Why ten days, not one
Three sections, every day
Reading, Writing and General Ability are trained each day, so no section is left until the week before the exam.
Ranked tests show where your child stands
Reading and General Ability are ranked daily against the class. Your child sees what to improve while there is still time.
Writing gets feedback, not a rank
The daily writing task is not ranked. Your child gets detailed, specific feedback to use in the next piece.
The interview is part of the exam
Two sessions on how to talk about values, experiences and character with maturity and confidence.
Where our Scholarship students have won places
These results come from students in our full-term Scholarship programme, including full scholarships at Tara Anglican, Oran Park Anglican and Thomas Hassall, and 100% at Trinity Grammar and Reddam House. The 10-Day Intensive is built on the same method, condensed into the holidays. Tap any result to see the letter.
