What happens if you don't get into any of your first three secondary school choices?

If you don't get into any of your first three secondary school choices, you will typically be assigned to another school based on availability and your geographical location. This assignment may be made by the local education authority and is intended to ensure that every student has a school placement. You can usually appeal the decision or seek admission to your preferred schools later if spaces become available. It's important to stay informed about the options and processes available in your area.
