2024 Grade 11 Selection List PDF: Key Information

The 2024 Grade 11 Selection List PDF files will be available online. As usual, the list of school intakes is arranged by region and easily accessible via the link below.


The image shows what it looks like in 2019.


Grade 11 Selection 2024 - http://education.gov.pg/quicklinks/selections.html



Grade 11 selection - How to find your name


Parents, guardians and relevant stakeholders can download the files and check for their children's names. 

Here is a quicker way to search for the new grade 11 students' names on the PDF file:

1. Download the right regional file

The 2024 Grade 11 selection list is available online at the NDOE (National Department of Education) website. 

There, you'll find both the secondary and National High school selection lists. The link is provided above.

2. Use the PDF search bar

It can take a long time to locate a student's name among the thousands of students. To make it easy, type the name of the student in the search bar and click search. 

If the name is on the selection list for 2024, it will appear in a matter of seconds. Fast.

3. Confirm the name and school

It is important to make sure the selected student from the *feeder* school goes to the right upper secondary school. 

You can do that by cross-checking the selection list or confirming with the school admin.

Grade 11 students things to do before 2024 school year starts...


1. Confirm your name with the school list. Important.

This is an ideal time to correct any spelling errors or misunderstandings. If it means calling the school, the new Grade 11 student and parents may have to do that before school starts. 

Iron out any misunderstanding you may have as the key stakeholder.

2. Visit the school

Many town schools are day schools but it is better to visit your school before the academic year 2024 starts. 

This is vital as parents and you may meet the teachers and school admin, and get information prior to starting school. 

3. Prepare for the academic year

You will need new clothes, uniforms and shoes before p classes commence. But above all, it is a must to have pens (key tools to write with), a ruler, a bag and a calculator (for use in maths lessons). Only buy things you'll need and can think of. Anything you do not need now can be collected later.

4. Prepare your mind

Education is becoming very competitive. If you're a 2024 Grade 11 selected student you must start early by preparing your mind. Set target for the national grade 12 exams and work towards it.  

One thing I must add here is reading - read as many books as you can. Read out loud. Read in silence. Read books.

Do you want to be intelligent?

Read.

5. Do the extra

The students whose names are on the 2024 Grade 11 selection list are celebrating. You can celebrate in style too. Do some charity work. Or be a good Samaritan. Do good works in secret and unintentionally. The good you do now will come back to you in amazing ways. Tenfold. 

Hope you have a good and fulfilling year.
