请教MELBOURNE HIGH SCHOOL的入学标准，住在SOUTH YARRA可以入学吗？还是都是要考试进的？谢谢

要考试的，八考九。上分数线后，按小孩所在学校八年级人数的5%录取。

MHS Enrolment:
Melbourne High School is the only state school for boys in Victoria which selects students solely on the basis of performance in an entrance examination. Every year, well over 1,400 boys try to obtain a place in Year 9 by undertaking the examination in the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton. These placements are based on their raw results in the entrance exam. Those who were within 5 marks of the cut-off-score or did not receive a place due to the "5% rule", which prevents more than 5% of another school's cohort entering Melbourne High, are asked to participate in the Principals Discretionary Category.
Usually 180 students are eligible to apply in this category and compete for just 17 allocated places. Students choosing to participate follow a complete application process involving:
Submission of a portfolio demonstrating academic and co-curricular achievements.
The student's most recent school report
A personal statement on why the student wishes to attend Melbourne High School
A small amount of students are then short-listed and interviewed. 17 of the shortlisted are then chosen to be given offers into the school. Places are also available in year 10 but the competition is much fiercer - in 2007, 28 students were accepted into Year 10 and in 2008 only 29 students were accepted after undergoing a similar process to the Principals Discretionary Category. Fewer places again are available at year 11 and 12, and these places are given based on an interview and application form.
The rules for entry are equal for all students during "examination entry" into the school. Students who live in the nearby area are not treated any differently from those from outer suburbs or regional areas. Although there does seem to be some extra consideration given to students who have had an older sibling(s) who have studied or are studying in the school whilst applying for entry into the school through the Principal Discretionary or higher years entries where there is an application and interview process involved. However, students applying to the school commonly undertake coaching for months beforehand.
