Year 10 to 11

[Duci_]

Hello !

I'm want to try out for a selective high school, like baulkham hills, but i'm scared i have no chance because i got straight B's in my half-yearlies for year 10 !
I think that happened because i don't 'contribute' to the class , like ask questions , volunteer blah blah blah.
So I'm wondering, should i still try out ~? !

Thanks in advance ! =]

If you don't try you'll never find out if you make it or not so it doesn't matter how you're going now just give it a shot! i know some selective schools like to look for extracurricular stuff too :]

Trying doesn't always mean you'll get in but it does give you a chance! Well I do know some people who got into selective schools in year 11 and they didn't do brilliantly in academia or extra stuff but they still got in. If you did them previously I'm sure it'll still count

Not trying to be too harsh, but you definitely will not get into Baulkham Hills. Zero chance. Perhaps you could try out for Girraween High?

oh that sucks, but hey give it a go! The fact you have initiative and ask other on forums is a good sign! Good luck! xx

That's not true! I know people who've gotten into the Sydney Highs without having had good report marks previously. They did have special music/art/sporting skills though...

The guys knows his stuff about selective enrolment. Unfortunately, the chances for OP's entry into Baulkham Hills is very low no doubt, but who knows until you try?

Naw thanks for being truthful ! ~ Not a big fan of Girraween, do you know any other schools i could maybe try ? :O

&thank you everyone for giving your comments !

[enoilgam]

Just a curious question for the OP, why do you want to change schools?

[meaganxo]

You could try out for Hornsby Girls,

Lol why not?

It's a pretty good school, albeit not as good as Baulko.

Like realistically, I don't think you can get into a top 10 school. Perhaps go for Penrith (worse than Girraween).

[starshine02]

I don't think they do...I could ask some of them later if you're interested but I think they don't.

Lol I got into my current school without stellar report marks.

@OP if Baulko has an entrance exam and you ace that, then youll get in even if your report isnt the best.

Umm i dunno peer pressur ? no offense on anyone though ! D:
haha ~ Penrith is too far, like an hour drive away , > < are there any other options ??

Because , going selective will lift my grades and get me into uni .. something like that O-O ahaha ~
Besides, it's my last year to try ><

the "dud" baulko grade.

[slyhunter]

going to a selective school does not automatically mean you'll get better grades lol

nope. you should just realise that coming 1st at your school is like 10th in a selective, so it's much harder to secure top ranks.

and what peer pressure about girraween? it's probably the most laid back selective school in the state (credit to our shit results), but i can help you out with anything regarding girraween if you want.

[ZombieApocalypse]

the "dud" baulko grade.

"dud"

really?

well, at least they seem to have a decent sense of humour

my grade is a "dud" WITHOUT humour
