Agricultural high schools are selective high schools which emphasise the study of agriculture, with the residential sections giving some priority to isolated students. Partially selective high schools have community-based classes as well as selective classes. Vacancies may occur in selective high schools in Years 8 to 12 in 2009.

Applications to fill these vacancies should be submitted in mid-June in the year before placement is sought. Before submitting each application (up to a maximum of 4) you should go to the school's website or contact the school to find out the assessment requirements and enrolment procedures for each selective high school for which you wish to apply.
