Because generally, a retard wouldn't be ale to make it into a selective school in the first place.

I do not think the Private High Schools would deliberately drop students because they wish to increase their Band 6 percentages. The reason why the drop-out rate is high would be attributed to the high cost of attending those schools.

I was talking about Private school students dropping out when they reach university.

But to reply to your statement. Yes, some of them would. What that islamic school is doing is basically the same as kicking out students. The school no longer teaches students in those subjects and their results are not listed undder the school's name.

You just stated the obvious. It wasn't a reasonable and logical argument...

Yes, they have been able to pay the school fees from kindergarden to year 10, but for some reason they cannot pay for year 11 and 12.

You're a fucking moron. Malek Fahd was only the 9th ranked school in last years HSC. But you're right, they don't understand English.


Edit: SomeoneCool, please inc. the article link.

That's true. High achieveing students do equate to an influx of cash. From my knowledge, there are two broad categories of students at MFIS:
1) People who absolutely slaughter the HSC and achieve a UAI of >90.
2) Those who cave under the pressure the school and their subjects place on their heads.

So, its pretty much do or die. LOL! That should be the school motto. DO OR DIE. Translate it to latin and it'll be like: "operor vel intereo".

BTW, is that JailBait in your avatar?

That's awful.

I also feel great about the fact that an Islamic school is putting it over so many 'exclusive' Christian schools.

This is an old issue.

There were two threads about this on Muslim Village once. One kid was complaining about his sibling getting kicked out of the school for underperformance and another about forced to either go to tafe for subjects or repeat year 12.
They both mentioned the reason being the schools intention to raise their HSC ranking.

To the best of my knowledge both threads were deleted which I found very odd. I did find one thread where someone criticised Malek Fahd but the criticisms were replaced with [mod:deleted]

yeah, Camden's pretty big on TAFE anyway.

[chicky_pie]

If most schools consider this, then TAFE would be a place for struggling rejects from Private schools, lol

[ari89]

If they relocate the school to Camden they will no longer be on AFIC land!
If they're not on AFIC land how else would they justify paying 4 times the rent (obviously subsidised through government funding) to AFIC?????

She was used to the teachers doing everything for her, she enjoyed all the pressure from her school. So 2 days later she left.

Also my neighbour, last term he left malek fahd and his in yr 12, he was forced to do 3unit english, 4unt maths and he didnt want to do them at all, so he left.

THAT RIGHT THERE...is the biggest load of bullsh*t i have ever read. this whole post is a LIE. I am a year 12 student at Malek Fahd and i do legal studies at Bankstown TAFE, for the simple reason that i (along with 8 other people) decided to drop chemistry at the start of this year when we started the HSC course. i wanted to do legal studies and TAFE was the only option as you can do intensive Prelim and HSC in one year. (Also as mentioned in the article, the school does NOT offer Studies of Religion this year as NO students CHOSE to do it. Also the legal studies teacher left out school and so we had no replacement teacher). As mentioned by Sannous1 there was NOT ONE, NOT ONE girl who was sick of doing legal studies at TAFE and decided to leave school and go to Wiley Park Girls. First of all what school would accept a student almost at the end of the HSC year. Second of all, all the girls are in my classes at school and in my class at TAFE and to my recollection they are ALL still there. what you have written is a complete and utter lie. Third of all, you say this girl left the school. Tell me where did she go? The moon? And your supposed "neighbour" Once again NOONE and i repreat NOONE left my year 12 class last term or this term or in fact in the past two years. In fact i know of people RETURNING to Malek Fahd after they've left the school. And for the record, the thing which struck me the most about your post was that the school DOES NOT FORCE ANYONE to do 3 unit english. lol that's the most absurd insinuation of your whole post. If anything the principal discourages students to do 3 unit english, seeing that english is considered our second language. There are only about 3 people doing Extension 1 Enlgish. Please i welcome you to come to our school at your discretion and walk into our classrooms. You'll see that we're very happy with our subject choices ranging from 3 unit maths, 4 unit maths, physics, business, biology, 4 unit english, etc. You cannot force someone to do 4 unit maths if they don't want to. What's the chances that person will achieve a 90+ mark if they hate the subject. If you research our school, they came 3rd in the state for maths. THIRD. with supposedly forcing the students to do maths. NUFF SAID

[BackCountrySnow]

How much did the principal pay you to post that?

Edit: Do they teach you how to write in paragraphs at Malek Fahd?
