Preparing for Senior School

By the time your daughter reaches Prep 6 she will be well prepared for onward movement and ready to tackle the rigours of secondary education.

Over the previous years you will have seen her grow in confidence and maturity, both academically and mentally. Supported by the staff and Sisters, she will be completely ready for that next step. The entrance examination to the Senior School is sat in January of the year of entry (Year 7, age 11). This covers Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning.

Naturally, we hope you will choose Notre Dame Senior School, but should you, or we, feel this is inappropriate for your daughter, we will make strenuous efforts to advise on the best onward path.
