8 schools, ranked 1st–8th
Choose exactly eight schools, ordered from your ward's most preferred (Choice 1) to least preferred (Choice 8).
5 Boarding + 3 Day — required
Every set of 8 choices must include exactly 5 Boarding and 3 Day schools overall. Set a status for each choice — this is checked before you can print.
Category A: max 2
Not compulsory. If you use both slots, the recommended split is 1 Boarding + 1 Day.
Category B: max 3
Not compulsory. If you use all three slots, the recommended split is 2 Boarding + 1 Day.
Category C + Pilot Private: fills the rest
Can be up to all 8 choices, as long as the overall 5 Boarding / 3 Day balance is kept.
Pilot Private = Day only
Counts toward your Category B or C allocation, but is always a Day choice, never Boarding.
Day means catchment area
Only choose Day for a school your ward can realistically attend daily — distance, transport, and safety matter.
No repeats
The same school can't appear twice, even under a different residential status or programme.
Placement is final
Once your ward is placed in any of the 8 choices, it will not ordinarily be changed afterward.
Pure TVET / STEM pathways
Aiming purely for TVET, or a STEM/Science career, means all 8 choices should match that pathway.
Example of one compliant arrangement (not the only valid one)
| Choice | Category | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Category A | Boarding |
| 2 | Category A | Day |
| 3 | Category B | Boarding |
| 4 | Category B | Boarding |
| 5 | Category B | Day |
| 6 | Category C | Boarding |
| 7 | Category C | Boarding |
| 8 | Category C | Day |
This gives 2 Category A + 3 Category B + 3 Category C = 8, and 5 Boarding + 3 Day overall. Schools don't have to appear in this category order — rank them by genuine preference; a Category C school can be Choice 1 if it's your ward's most preferred.
These identify whose selection form this is.
