Senior School Academic Scholarships for 2024
Application for a Senior Academic Scholarship is open to both new students and current Pedare students, who will enter Years 10, 11 or 12 in 2024.
Applicants are required to register online to sit the Senior Scholarship Test, which is administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Applicants are required to demonstrate a range of skills such as the ability to interpret, infer, deduce and think critically. The tests are not curriculum based and do not test the ability to retrieve learned knowledge, nor are they diagnostic.
The value of the scholarships is up to 50% tuition fee remission with Scholarships being reviewed on an annual basis to monitor the student’s continuing performance. It is expected that recipients will complete their schooling at Pedare.
The ACER scholarship examination will be held at Pedare, 12-30 Surrey Farm Drive, Golden Grove on Friday 21 July, 2023.
Online registrations are now open and the closing date for registrations is Friday 30 June 2023. The fee to sit the scholarship test is $120.
Students in Year 9 in 2023, can apply for the Level 2 Scholarship Test for Year 10 in 2024.
