Dear Parents/Carers,

The 2025 Scholarship Examination is only open to students who have been accepted
into Hoppers Crossing Secondary College for Year 7 and 10.

The testing is conducted for and should only be taken by students who are performing
above standard, using the Higher Ability Selection Test (HAST) administered by the
Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Learning areas assessed on the
examination include mathematical reasoning, reading
comprehension and written expression.

The results allow the College to identify highly able students who may then be
awarded with an academic scholarship to the value of $1,500.

These students are also invited to take part in the Select Entry Enrichment Pathway
(SEEP) Program at the College (for year 7-9 scholarships).

The scholarship consists of $500 per year for Years 7, 8 and 9 for junior scholarships and Years 10, 11 and 12 for senior scholarships – a total of $1500 over 3
years. Each year, $500 is credited to your school account and can be used for any of
the following:

 HCSC E-Book Subscription
 Language Perfect Subscription

Please note, the $500 credit expires within each school year. Left over funds are not
