Common questions
Who can sit OC?
Year 4 students at a NSW government school, or applying to attend one, who are Australian citizens or permanent residents. Successful students enter the OC program in Year 5.
How many OC places are available?
About 1,840 OC places are offered each year across 77 NSW schools, plus Aurora College for rural and remote students. Around 12,000 to 13,000 students apply annually, so success rates are roughly 15% statewide.
What is a competitive score?
NSW DET does not publish numerical cut-off scores. Students receive performance band placements per section (e.g. top 10%, next 15%, next 25%, lowest 50%). Competitive metropolitan OC schools typically admit students placing in the top 10 to 20% of applicants.
