SEAL programs are designed to challenge and motivate high-achieving students and provide them with a rigorous and personalised curriculum that meets their needs and interests. The goal of SEAL programs is to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment for students with the potential for academic excellence and to support their academic, personal, and social growth.
Early preparation for SEAL exams is crucial to increase the chances of success. By starting early in years 5-6, students can build a solid academic foundation and gain the necessary skills and knowledge needed for the competitive exam and interview process.
SEAL and High Achiever Programs are selective and only offered to the highest-achieving students. Preparation for these programs and exams should begin early, in Year 5 or 6, to build a strong portfolio of academic achievement and prepare students for the competitive exam structure and interview process. Different schools may use other exam formats, typically commissioned from companies such as ACER or Edutest, so it is essential to know which company your school has commissioned to prepare your child best for that particular format.
It is essential to be aware of the different exam formats your child's selected school uses, as this can impact the preparation they will need to succeed in their SEAL exams. Knowing which company has been commissioned by the school to write the exam paper will help ensure that your child is adequately prepared.
