How to apply?

Year 6 into Year 7

Each year in Term 3, after Year 6 students have received confirmation from their primary school of a general placement at Wangaratta High School, they can apply for selection into the SEAL program for Year 7.

Prospective applicants are recommended to attend the SEAL information session held in early Term 2 to gain a clear understanding of how the program works, the selection process, and the application timeline.

Current Secondary Students

We accept applications for Year 7, 8 and 9 SEAL classes if places are available. Year 9 places are only available at the beginning of the school year. To inquire about possible places please contact the SEAL Coordinator.

Selection Process

A selection process is used to identify students for whom SEAL would be appropriate which involves application responses, external testing through Edutest, teacher recommendation, an analysis of student data and student interview.

Edutest Registration

It is preferred that all forms and supporting documentation is completed and submitted electronically by email. Contact the SEAL Coordinator if you have any questions about the application documentation.

Edutest Registration

Please see the Edutest Test Information pamphlet for more information about the test contents. After registration you can access sample questions on the Edutest website.

Testing Day

Once you have registered with Edutest you will receive confirmation and information regarding the date, time and location of the selection test, as well as what your child needs to bring for the day. Tests are externally assessed with results returned to the High School.

Interview

The interview is holistic in nature and gives students an opportunity to talk about their strengths and achievements, as well as to ask any questions they have about the SEAL Program. To help feel more confident about the interview students are invited to bring a something they are proud of to discuss. This could include a portfolio of past academic achievements and prizes, sporting achievements, music achievements, school and community leadership achievements, or any other materials that illustrates their approach to learning, leadership and community.
