Re: Private school students scoop scholarships. BIG surprise, huh?

Dear Behee

Thanks for the reply. I would just like to clarify that in no ways did I mean for my previous post to be vindictive and hopefully understood it that way. I understand where your coming from and it is a shame that when it comes down to uni offers they are totally reliant on VCE. Like you I believe a applicant can possess other abilities hidden behind the enter score

That is why I firmly believe Australian uni entrance should be changed to the US Model which requires mandatory interviews, essays etc. to better gauge their applicants which will be supported by SAT results or in our case VCE.

I also understand where you are coming from about public schools in most cases having an overall weaker cohort in comparison.

With the introduction of 2 new selective schools and many more planned I hope that the system will be fairer in catering for students of all abilities and providing educational institutions which academically sound students can flourish

Thanks for the great discussion.

Glenda
