How can one stand out in scholarship examinations in Victoria? What are the academic abilities assessed in private school scholarship exams? What are the comprehensive strengths valued during private school admissions?








四个必考科目






逻辑思维 GA

GA科目在日校中可能不被涉及,但在选拔考试中却是必考内容,也是一些国际大公司选拔项目的一部分。在这方面,逻辑思考能力以及利用有限资源解决问题的能力显得尤为重要。虽然不同的考试形式对能力要求的呈现方式可能有所不同,但这些基本技能都是必备的。通过系统的学习,孩子们可以获得这些能力的提升。Qs从低年级开始便注重思维训练,确保学生能够掌握所有这些知识和思维技能。


The subject of General Ability (GA) may not be covered in day schools, but it is an essential component of selection exams and also forms part of the screening process for various international companies. In this context, the ability to think logically and solve problems using limited resources is particularly crucial. While different exam formats may vary in their presentation of required skills, these fundamental abilities are indispensable. Through systematic learning, students can enhance these capabilities. Starting from an early age, Qs places emphasis on cognitive training to ensure that students acquire both the knowledge and thinking skills necessary to excel in these areas.






英文 English

在当今信息爆炸的时代中,英文中的一些特定技能愈发凸显其重要性。这些技能包括洞察主要观点、准确回忆事实细节、理解事件发展的脉络,以及辨析语境中的词义。而这些方面对于孩子们来说较有挑战。Qs根据入学测试以及模拟考试、期末考试等的大数据分析,密切跟进孩子们在阅读理解中的优势和挑战,同时紧跟维州教育大纲以及奖学金考试要求的变化,不断优化教学,对教材进行相应调整和持续升级,有针对性地加强训练,以确保孩子们能够达到最佳的学习效果 。


In this era of information explosion, certain specific skills in the English language have become increasingly prominent in their importance. Qs, based on data analysis from entrance tests, mock exams, and end-of-term assessments, closely monitor the strengths and challenges children face in reading comprehension. Simultaneously, Qs keeps pace with the changes in the Victorian curriculum and scholarship exam requirements, continuously optimising teaching methods, making appropriate adjustments and ongoing upgrades to teaching materials, and providing targeted training to ensure that children achieve optimal learning outcomes.






数学 Maths

私校奖学金考试会涉及比较深的内容,要求孩子们有更强的思维能力,灵活运用的能力,抽象性,创造性思维能力要求更强,Qs 课程从不同深度和广度详细学习知识点,Qs教材里也特别增加了statistics,让孩子们全面掌握考试所需的内容。比如L6 Olympic Math,强调数学思维,要求孩子们在有限的时间内利用有限的资源去解决难题,对数学训练帮助非常大。我们的学生有拿到AMC Medal, 顶尖私校直接面试给Offer的情况。


Private school scholarship exams delve into more complex subjects, requiring children to demonstrate stronger thinking abilities, flexibility, abstract thinking, and creative thinking. Qs curriculum delves into various topics in detail, covering different depths and breadths of knowledge. Qs textbooks also specifically incorporate statistics to ensure comprehensive mastery of the content required for the exams. For example, L6 Olympic Math emphasises mathematical thinking, challenging students to solve difficult problems within limited time and resources, greatly aiding their mathematical training. Our students have achieved remarkable accomplishments, including winning AMC Medals and receiving direct interview offers from top private schools.






写作 Writing

选拔考试对写作要求更高。在日校,只要structure, great idea,词汇运用比较丰富,通常可以得到A或者A+。在奖学金考试当中,孩子们写作还需要strong engage the reader扣人心弦,需要distinct voice, thoughtful or compelling ideas or interpretation, accurate spelling and punctuation, language selected for effect, but without affectation or strain。能创造意境,把读者或者考官带入情景中。


基于这种情况,Qs写作教材除了注重结构、观点和词汇之外,还强调并训练这些能力。特别是Qs 加强写作课程,包括每个学期还有假期班的写作专项训练班,有针对性地帮助孩子提升写作水平,打下坚实的基础和技能。如果我们设立高标准并怀有一定期望,同时采用有效的方法和优质的资源,孩子的学习效果将会有显著提升。


In light of this situation, Qs writing materials not only emphasises structure, ideas, and vocabulary but also prioritises and trains these skills. In particular, Qs has strengthened its writing curriculum, including specialised writing training courses offered each semester and during holiday sessions. These courses are specifically designed to help children enhance their writing abilities, laying a solid foundation and developing essential skills. By setting high standards, having certain expectations, and utilising effective methods and quality resources, significant improvements can be achieved in children's learning outcomes.







学校在选拔中看重的其他能力








学术考试得到面试机会的孩子,其特长和领导才能、社区的贡献等等,都是学校在选拔面试过程中会问及的。需要家长们在孩子的学习和成长的过程当中,关注孩子学术的同时,有意识的培养孩子的各种才能和领导潜能,以及鼓励他们参与社区活动并作出贡献;


Children who receive interview opportunities based on their academic performance will also be assessed on their talents, leadership abilities, and contributions to the community during the school's selection process. It is important for parents to not only focus on their child's academic development but also consciously cultivate their various talents and leadership potential. Encouraging children to participate in community activities and make contributions therein is equally vital.


同时也关注孩子的兴趣爱好和特长,并提供支持和机会,让他们能够全面发展。这种综合发展的重视将为孩子们的未来铺就坚实的基础,并使他们在面试中能够展现出独特的个性和广泛的能力。


Simultaneously, it is crucial to pay attention to children's interests, hobbies, and talents, providing support and opportunities that allow them to develop comprehensively. This emphasis on holistic development will lay a solid foundation for their future and enable them to showcase their unique personalities and diverse abilities during interviews.

另外需要强调的一点是,根据我们多年的经验,除了学习知识,训练学习能力,最重要的还有孩子的心智模式的不断成熟。也就是Qs教育理念中非常强调的:Confidence, Positive thinking, Solution Thinking, Efficiency。


比如自信,positive thinking,相信自己可以解决问题。即使开始时不会做,但是带着这样一个信念,就可以慢慢的从当中摸索到思路; solution focus关注问题的解决,找到答案。效率,孩子的专注度被真正的训练出来之后,可以取得事半功倍的效果。


这些理念,不管是家庭教育,家庭文化的建设以及孩子的学习过程当中都是非常重要的。




未来已经到来,孩子不仅要面对奖学金考试,还将迎接未来世界的种种变化与挑战。如何帮助孩子变得强大而幸福?如何发掘和培养孩子的软实力,提升他们的核心竞争力?家庭教育如何伴随孩子共同成长,更好地托举他们的未来?家长又该如何在孩子的成长过程中不断进步?我们特别推出三场系列讲座,诚邀家长们一同深度探讨这些问题。

The future has arrived, and children are not only preparing for scholarship exams but also for the complex challenges of a rapidly evolving world. How can we empower children to become both resilient and fulfilled? How can we uncover and nurture their soft skills while enhancing their core competencies? How can family education grow alongside them, providing the foundation they need to succeed? And how can parents advance in their roles as their children develop? We are pleased to offer a series of three seminars, inviting parents to engage in a deep exploration of these critical topics.
