Student satisfaction survey score
"The online lesson was very straightforward and easy to follow, it felt like an actual face-to-face lesson! I really liked the annotations and diagrams that my teacher made alongside the content. Through this online platform, it was actually easier for me to understand the teacher. The structure in which the lesson was presented helped me engage with the question and directly answer it, while also allowing me to learn at my own pace."
Justin Kim, Knox Grammar School
"I enjoyed being able to re-play parts of the video that I misunderstood, or needed to hear for a second time. I also liked being able to skip over some sections which I was comfortable with or had already finished. Being able to do this allowed me to learn in a way that matched my abilities, and kept me engaged during the lesson. This really helped in solidifying my understanding of the new content, as well as maintaining my engagement."
Nia Worthington, St Ursula's College Kingsgrove
"The online theory lessons complete the entire lesson from that week from beginning to end. There are no questions skipped which provides a better sense of completion and finality to each lesson. Being able to pause the video and rewind is very useful as sometimes I know that I require extra time to run over certain concepts which may be new to me or are more challenging."
Emily Dinh, James Ruse Agricultural High School

The Opportunity Class Placement Test or the OC Test is the entrance test for acceptance into Opportunity Classes (OC) for academically gifted students. It is a paper-based exam for a place (out of 1840) offered in one of 77 NSW public schools.
If your child has been performing well with top marks in school reports or received top performance bands in the NAPLAN exam, you should consider applying your child for the OC test.
Opportunity Classes cater to academically gifted Year 5 and 6 students with exceptional critical thinking abilities.
The best way to prepare your child is to ensure they target any weaknesses in their English and Maths. They also need to learn and develop critical thinking skills required to solve all question types in the OC test.
