The NSW selective high school placement test has been delayed with a day’s notice due to flooding.
The Department of Education says the postponement was made due to the flooding across NSW and the impact of Covid, which affect “the ability of students to attend an operational school or test centre to sit the exam”.
Year 6 students at Dulwich Hill High School complete selective high school exam. Picture: Stephen Cooper “I decided to take my family to my conference for the first week, then we extended for another week for her to relax after the selective exam … we now have to pay to change the return tickets.” “My kid hasn’t been going to school for three days to relax, to prepare, and to avoid any last minute Covid risks [for the selective high school test]. All of that is wasted effort. We need to start the race again.“You expect a government organisation to be better organised – it’s meant to be a well-oiled machine. It left a bad taste in the mouth.”
