Our Selective Entry Program for 2025 gives Merrimac State High School the opportunity to select students from both within and outside our boundary to participate in our high performance programs. Places are limited, consequently only students with passion, commitment and high levels of performance are selected.

The Summit program seeks to meet the needs of naturally final logo.jpggifted or exceptional students. This program provides accelerated and specialised programs for students seeking to enhance their already advanced natural abilities in areas of interest. Three Summit programs are offered: STEAM Academy, Academic Summit, Dance Summit, Music Summit and Sport Summit.​

Video Auditions are required for:

  • Music Summit
  • STEAM Summit

​**Applications should be emailed to enrolments@merrimacshs.eq.edu.au

FEES & REVIEW PROCESS-  Upon acceptance in a program, an annual fee is payable in addition to the student resource scheme every year that the student is part of the program. The fee for 2025 is $100 per program. Program fees must be paid prior to the commencement of the school year. If the fees are not paid by the due date, it will be concluded that the student no longer wishes to participate in the program. Students participating in the Selective Entry Program will be reassessed at the conclusion of each reporting cycle until the end of Year 9 by the Summit Management Board. This review process is to ensure students are meeting the expectations of the program, and to provide additional support for students in order to help them achieve success. Should the student not maintain the standards of the program, they may be at risk of leaving the program and their entrance fees forfeited.​
