The Arbor School

Assessment.

The Arbor School attempts to ensure that the application procedure is informative, yet stress free for the children and families involved. As an inclusive school, Arbor is very aware that children shine in many different ways, so Arbor makes holistic decisions at admissions. Both students and parents meet with the Principal, and for children up to Year 2, a simple period of observation is held in a play setting, combined with some reading and maths tasks. For children in Year 3 and above, an online diagnostic tool is used, but yet again, informs the process in a holistic manner.
