Primary Ethics for SEE

NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where available.

Update to Year 5 opportunity class placement process for 202...

08 Dec 2020

I would like to update you on the modified timeline for Year 5 opportunity class entry in 2021.

The Opportunity Class Placement Test was conducted on Wednesday 18 November 2020 in 1068 primary schools and test centres across NSW.

We expect to release the results to parents and schools in mid-January 2021, which may have implications for your staffing and class structures.

To ensure that most vacancies are filled by the start of Term 1, 2021, parents who are offered placement on behalf of their children will have just one week to respond to their offers.

Parents are being emailed to ensure that they watch their emails or depute someone else to respond on their behalf if they will be out of contact when the results are released as offers will lapse if parents do not respond in time.
By Monday 25 January 2021, primary schools will be provided with an update of students from their schools who have accepted offers to schools with opportunity classes.

Key dates to be aware of for remaining stage of the OC process:

Mid-January 2021 – Placement outcome information is sent to parents and schools. Parents with offers must respond within one week.
From mid-January 2021 – Parents accept or decline offers. The Reserve List is activated.
25 January 2021 – Primary schools will be provided with an updated report of students with accepted offers.
27 January 2021 – At 5pm, students with accepted offers are withdrawn from the reserve list.
