Why Us

When we went through the selective school transfer process ourselves, there was little to no clear guidance available. There were no structured programs, no reliable practice resources, and no one to explain what to expect in the EduTest, Sydney Boys/Normanhurst and HAST exams. Even the interview and writing tasks felt like a guessing game.

We remember how stressful and uncertain the process was—not just for us, but for our families too. That experience is what inspired us to build Selective Specialist.

We created this service to provide the structure, resources and support we wish we had. Everything we offer is designed specifically for students applying for Years 8 to 11 entry into competitive selective schools.

From targeted lessons and realistic exam practice to personalised feedback and interview preparation, Selective Specialist helps students approach the process with confidence and clarity.

We understand the challenges because we lived them and now we’re here to make the journey smoother for you.
