Every October, parents’ group chats start buzzing — Which schools are holding exams? When does registration open? Can we still apply if we missed the deadline? 😵💫
1. Don’t Miss the Registration Period!
Most schools open scholarship applications between November and January, with some as early as September (for example, Oakleigh Grammar).It’s best for parents to start checking school websites in early October, especially for popular schools such as:
Melbourne Grammar
Caulfield Grammar
Genazzano FCJ
Ivanhoe Girls
If you’re applying to multiple schools, create a “deadline table” to avoid clashes or missing dates.
💡 Tip: Add all the deadlines to your Google Calendar and set a reminder one week in advance!
2. Understand the Exam Types!
Private school scholarship exams generally fall into three categories:
ACER Exam: The most common scholarship test — standardised format and plenty of practice materials available.
Edutest Exam: Heavy on reading and flexible in style — great for students who think quickly and creatively.
AAS Exam: Focuses more on writing and reasoning skills.
3. Parent Tips
Plan your transport route in advance (some schools, like Melbourne Grammar, have limited parking).
Bring stationery, exam slip, and a water bottle. Make sure your child eats well before the test. After the exam, avoid asking about results right away — instead, offer encouragement: 💬 “You did your best, and that’s what matters.”
