Entrance Assessment
For Grades 7 and 9, Havergal assesses applicants across four areas:
literacy, numeracy and communication
critical thinking
problem solving and reasoning
self awareness and self management
Havergal does not publicly provide a detailed test syllabus, test length, number of questions or complete sample assessment for Grades 7 and 9. Its published admissions information emphasizes broader skills rather than specific curriculum topics. (Havergal College)
For younger applicants, Havergal's assessments are age appropriate and focus on areas such as literacy, numeracy, language and communication. (Havergal College)
Admissions Process
The application process includes an online application, school records and other supporting materials. Applicants complete the required assessment for their entry grade and participate in the school's interview process. (Havergal College)
For Grades 7 and 9, Havergal's interview includes time with the parent or guardian and student together, as well as time with the student individually. (Havergal College)
Key Insights
Grades 7 and 9 use a broader skills-based assessment. Havergal explicitly assesses literacy and numeracy alongside reasoning, critical thinking, communication and self management. (Havergal College)
Havergal uses its own admissions assessment for its major entry years. The school's published Grade 7 and Grade 9 admissions requirements do not list the SSAT as the standard assessment for these entry points. (Havergal College)
Academic testing is one part of a broader admissions process. Havergal also considers application materials, school information and interviews when assessing candidates. (Havergal College)
