It is rare, perhaps even unheard of, for an SSE student not to do well in the Comprehension (Reading), Critical Thinking (currently 60% vocabulary) and Writing sections of the Selective School Test. In these areas, students of the SSE consistently out-perform others.
The result is that the overwhelming majority of SSE students are currently being offered places in the top Selective Schools, such as:
• James Ruse Agricultural High School
• North Sydney Boys High School,
• North Sydney Girls High School,
• Sydney Boys and Sydney Girls High School
to name but a few…
By following the SSE’s uniquely developed, intensive, creative writing and essay writing (persuasive writing) programmes, students
become adept at manipulating an impressive array of higher order writing skills to absorb a reader and impress any marker.
After mastering these writing skills, the students participate in the SSE’s one-of-a-kind Speed Writing course. In this, a wide variety of potential writing questions are practised in the requisite 30 minute time frame.
In addition, the SSE offers: Intensive Comprehension, Intensive Vocabulary, Formal Writing, included in our “Essential Text Types” program (newspaper reports, book reviews, letter writing), Personalised Writing (planning, structure, style, plot or topic) and Selective School Past Papers.
Topping this off, is a program of Selective School Trial Tests where all the components are combined to produce candidates who are more than ready for future entry to a top Selective School.
All students are required to complete the SSE’s end of term assessment. A report is then provided for the parents or guardians.
