im going to take a stab at evans high school! or parramatta highHey guys, I'm new here so please bare with me.
Well, I'm seriously thinking of changing schools. My school is ranked in the 300's and is probably the most publicised school in NSW so I won't mention it (lol).
My school is like a breeding ground for newly arrived people from overseas. It's getting to the point where it's starting to get annoying. Here is one situation from last week, my commerce teacher took ten minutes to explain how to add 10,000 + 1,000.
So, my question to you is, Is entering a selective school in grade nine difficult or can you guys recommend any schools to me in the south-west Sydney region?
its what we do when bored people are on BoS! LOL (we need lives.)Thanks for the swift replys, Do I need any qualifications besides academic merit? Maybe community service...?
My school is no where near Parramatta
yeah, do I have to sit an exam to get into a selective school or is it a direct application?its what we do when bored people are on BoS! LOL (we need lives.)
academics is the MAIN thing, if your grades are well up and for a school in the 300s, top 5 ranks for most subjects shouldnt be a large feat
community service, sports, extracurricular activities are all nice on the application, itll increase your chances of getting in
put down all the certificates and awards youve gotten
and your hobbies and interests
is your school near livo area then?
haha true, but id recommend a selective school to most kids with an interest in studies, this kid being in yr9 taking it seriously already is a good signdude, just change schools. YOU'RE IN YEAR NINE! it really isn't that important, tbh. well neither is year ten...
don't fret
of course it is a good signhaha true, but id recommend a selective school to most kids with an interest in studies, this kid being in yr9 taking it seriously already is a good sign
+1dude, just change schools. YOU'RE IN YEAR NINE! it really isn't that important, tbh. well neither is year ten...
don't fret
That's a bad thing how?In pre school nobody cared about doing work because nobody told us it was important. At selective schools, you're constantly told how important the HSC is.
Because it's impossible to balance a good study routine with a healthy social life.People are self righteous enough to buy it (because of the sense of self achievement in attending a selective school). At non selective schools, people are realistic about the importance of the HSC. People have more fun, they realize that healthy social relationships and good times and experiences trump the shit eating NSW curriculum any day.
You can't get into uni with just a school certificate, they're useless.Truth is, you could start a uni degree with the school cert, its just that people feel good about themselves if they do more work for something, do what they were told to do. As a result, selective schools are full of arrogant (the subconscious type, not the self activated arrogance that is necessary in many social situations), deluded tools.
Examples pl0x.But that doesn't bother me- they're the ones with the diminished quality of life. No matter how much they argue that their "bright future" (aka. 9-5 jobs that a computer could do faster, but it would cost more to make a computer than to just pay you your shitty wages, crushing your spirit day after day as you're driven by the delusion that you're living a good life, created by what your teachers told you in high school) is better than not having fun at school, they all know or will soon realize how shitty and fucked up society really is.
Ignorance.Don't go to a selective school.
Please don't start my on all boys or all girls schools.
Do you even go to a selective school?In pre school nobody cared about doing work because nobody told us it was important. At selective schools, you're constantly told how important the HSC is.

Don't go to a selective school.

I've attended selective, non selective and international schools. (not asian, just lived overseas for a bit). There is a very high chance that my experience with different people exceeds yours incomparably.Do you even go to a selective school?
