About this workshop

For families whose child is in Year 9 now. Two hours on the schools that open places to this group, and how each of their exams and application processes actually work.

Schools and exams we cover

  • Elizabeth Blackburn Sciences, Year 11 entry
  • John Monash Science School, Year 11 entry

For each one: who is eligible, when applications open and close, what the exam contains, how the school decides, and what a family should be doing between now and then.

Who it is for

Students in Year 9 now, Year 10 in 2027, and their parents. Come to the one that matches your child's year level. Parents are welcome on their own if your child cannot make it.

On the day

Free, at Monash University, Clayton. Nothing to bring but questions. The Year 11 Entry Prep Mock runs the next morning at the same venue if you want to see where your child currently sits.

Questions families ask

Is it free?

Yes. Book a ticket on this page and no card is asked for.

Do we need to bring anything?

No. Bring questions. We will cover the ground either way, but the useful part is usually the specific question about your own child.

Should my child come, or is this for parents?

Either, and both is best. The content is aimed at the person making the decisions, so a parent on their own gets full value. Students in Year 9 now get the most out of the exam and preparation part.

Which of the two workshops should we come to?

The one that matches your child's year level. They run back to back at the same venue, and they cover different schools and different exams, so the wrong one will not be useful.

Do we have to do the mock exam as well?

No. The Year 11 Entry Prep Mock the next morning is separate and also free. The workshop tells you how the round works, the mock tells you where your child currently sits, and they are worth more together than apart.
