The last-published entry score — read this honestly
The Department has never published a per-school minimum entry score for Sydney Secondary College, Blackwattle Bay Campus. A senior (Years 11–12) campus with no Year 7 selective intake, so it was never listed in the minimum-entry-score tables.
So any "cut-off" quoted for it is an estimate, not an official figure — and under the current test, no official per-school cut-offs exist for any school at all.
