James Sheahan Catholic High School - Scholarship Application

In 2010 James Sheahan will be offering 2 scholarships for Year 7 students.  The scholarship will cover the cost of tuition only.  Other charges such as the application fee, subject fees, capital levies and excursions are not included in the scholarship.

Students applying for a Year 7 scholarship sit for a Level 1 (ACER) scholarship examination.  The Registration Form and fee ($85) for the examination must be entered and paid for on line by Monday 5 April 2010.  Only under exceptional circumstances will ACER consider a refund of the registration fee.

It is expected that the scholarship holder will support the Catholic ethos of the school and will continue to have a satisfactory academic, attendance and conduct record.  The school executive will review the progress of each scholarship holder on a yearly basis and unsatisfactory progress or lack of commitment to study, attendance or conduct may cause the scholarship to be withdrawn.

The scholarship will be offered for the compulsory junior years of secondary education, Years 7-10.  There is an explicit expectation that the scholarship holder will be a student at James Sheahan for the full 6 years of secondary education and will therefore complete their HSC (Year 12) studies at our school.

The Candidate Registration Form must be entered on line to ensure your child is registered for the day. Following the testing date, candidates may also be invited to attend an interview in support of their application.

Further information about the test and procedures for completing the forms can be gained by visiting the ACER website.

Please contact the school if you have any questions concerning the scholarship..
