Upcoming changes to entrance exams

Creativity has always had its place in learning, but it’s becoming a core skill being assessed in students. It’s now a formal part of some Year 7 Entrance Exams and it’s catching parents off guard. Schools are introducing tasks that test imaginative thinking, clear communication and original problem-solving. These new tasks aren’t just about writing stories. They ask children to think on their feet, use language purposefully and respond to unusual prompts in thoughtful, original ways.
