What is SEAL?

Various schools offer accelerated learning programs for gifted and able students in order to accelerate them through high school and reduce schooling from six years to five. These are known as SEAL (Select Entry Accelerated Learning) programmes which ensure that opportunities for academic excellence are provided for gifted and talented students from years 7-10.

It is important to note that preparation for such exams MUST begin in the early stages of year 5-6 in order to build a strong portfolio of academic achievement and prepare students for the competitive exam structure and interview process.

Such testing is highly competitive and only offered in some schools and to the highest achievers despite the large volume of applicants.

Although it is not possible for all students to be accepted into the SEAL program, some schools also offer a High Achiever Program for a select few students allowing extended learning within the classroom without acceleration. This can be highly beneficial for students wishing to re-take the SEAL examination in later years and work at a higher achieving level than their peers. Entry into these programs can give a family outside the school zone an opportunity to enter the school also.

Depending on the school your child attends, each exam format will vary mainly contingent on the company employed by that school to write the exam paper. The main companies are ACER and Edutest. It is crucial to know which company your school has commissioned in order to best prepare your child for that particular format. Most schools will generally have this information on their website and the main differences are outlined in the table below.

ACER (HAST)

  • Creative Writing or Opinion Writing
  • Reading Comprehension
  • Mathematics
  • Abstract Reasoning

Edutest

  • Creative Writing
  • Mathematics
  • Reading Comprehension
  • Verbal Reasoning

Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page: It works

This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of the Apache2 server after installation on Ubuntu systems. It is based on the equivalent page on Debian, from which the Ubuntu Apache packaging is derived. If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.

If you are a normal user of this web site and don't know what this page is about, this probably means that the site is currently unavailable due to maintenance. If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator.

Configuration Overview

Ubuntu's Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream default configuration, and split into several files optimized for interaction with Ubuntu tools. The configuration system is fully documented in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. Refer to this for the full documentation. Documentation for the web server itself can be found by accessing the manual if the apache2-doc package was installed on this server.

The configuration layout for an Apache2 web server installation on Ubuntu systems is as follows:

/etc/apache2/
|-- apache2.conf
|       `--  ports.conf
|-- mods-enabled
|       |-- *.load
|       `-- *.conf
|-- conf-enabled
|       `-- *.conf
|-- sites-enabled
|       `-- *.conf
          
  • apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server.
  • ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is used to determine the listening ports for incoming connections, and this file can be customized anytime.
  • Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively.
  • They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf . See their respective man pages for detailed information.
  • The binary is called apache2 and is managed using systemd, so to start/stop the service use systemctl start apache2 and systemctl stop apache2, and use systemctl status apache2 and journalctl -u apache2 to check status. system and apache2ctl can also be used for service management if desired. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not work with the default configuration.
Document Roots

By default, Ubuntu does not allow access through the web browser to any file outside of those located in /var/www, public_html directories (when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

The default Ubuntu document root is /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www.

Reporting Problems

Please use the ubuntu-bug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Ubuntu. However, check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug.

Please report bugs specific to modules (such as PHP and others) to their respective packages, not to the web server itself.
