The Conservatorium High School is a specialist high school that is not part of the selective high school program. Applicants sit the Selective High School Placement Test as part of the separate application process for the Conservatorium High School.

Applicants for the Conservatorium High School must apply for selective high school placement and also complete the Conservatorium High School application form available from the school. Parents can choose up to three selective high schools, if they wish to apply for them, as well as for the Conservatorium High School.

If applying for entry to the Conservatorium High School only, applicants must select any selective high school in order to submit the application. Parents must then send a message to the Unit to explain that they are applying only for placement at the Conservatorium High School.

The Conservatorium High School will provide the applicants' names to the Selective Education Unit to receive the results of the test.
