Reporting Results

Parents will receive their child’s individual results. Cronulla High School will make offers of places in the 7C (for Cronulla) extension class based on the order of merit. A waiting list will also be established. Additional information may be attached to the test registration form. This may be taken into account by the school in cases where students achieve similar levels of performance in the extension class test.

Offers of Placement

Offers of Placement in 7C will only be made to students who have submitted an Expression of Interest or an enrolment application for Cronulla High School. It is important that Cronulla High School is chosen as the first preference regardless of whether the student is within the Cronulla High School zone. The link for the online Expression of Interest for Placement in a NSW Government Secondary School will be distributed by primary schools in Term 1. Students who reside outside the Cronulla High School zone also need to complete the Out of Area application process to be considered for placement in the Extension Class.

Refer to the enrolment page on the Cronulla High School website.

Placement offers will be based on these results, though criteria may be subject to change.
