Government schools use a range of strategies to meet the educational needs of gifted and talented students. One strategy is opportunity class placement which provides intellectual stimulation and an educationally enriched environment for gifted and talented students.
OC Classes for our school district are located at Dubbo West PS.
Offers for opportunity class placement will be made on the basis of the Opportunity Class Placement Test results and school assessment. The Opportunity Class Placement Test will be held on Wednesday 25 July 2012.
If you would like your child to apply for opportunity class placement in Year 5 in 2013, you need to do so soon.
1. Apply on the internet and submit your application online. You will need to have an email address (not the student's email address), access to the internet and a printer.
Detailed instructions on how to apply online will be available from 30 April 2012 at:

or
2. If you do not have internet access, complete a commercially printed application form and return it to this school by 18 May 2012.
Please contact the school office if you are considering applying. I can then provide you with more information.
