This tracker mirrors the NSW Department of Education's published reserve-list status for NSW selective high schools. It is maintained by hand, not a live feed: the figures change only when an admin records a new weekly status. Braintree Coaching Australia has maintained it since the 2024 entry round, drawn from the NSW Department of Education's published reserve-list status. Mirrored weekly from the admin-maintained reserve-list app during the placement round; admins confirm provenance in the reserve-list manager.

We surface the past, not a prediction. The offer dates shown are the actual weeks families in each band received their letters in prior years, a record of what happened rather than a forecast of when your own offer will arrive.
