Application process

Application process articles from Braintree Coaching Australia walk families through selective school and scholarship entry — from creating a parent account on the official portal to submitting school preferences before the cutoff. Parents often land here after shortlisting schools but before they understand how applications, offers, and reserve lists connect.

The guides below explain registration windows, document requirements, fee payments, and what happens if a deadline is missed. We cite Department dates where they apply and note when an independent school's process differs, for example EduTest or ACER scholarship forms. If your child is preparing for the NSW Selective High School Placement Test, pair these administrative steps with our NSW selective school preparation hub, which covers the four test components and a realistic study timeline.

You will also find articles on scholarship applications at independent schools and how multiple pathways can run in parallel during Year 5 and Year 6. Use this index to find the step you need today — lodging an application, uploading evidence, or confirming that a submission was received.
