You kids need to stop worrying about schools so much and actually go and study! If you study, you'll do well no matter where you go.

That is quite true

good to be self aware !! do you think James Ruse will accept me if I trip down the stares and injure my skull?

What?

 

[Sir Jigger II]

One of my friends mates from Penrith apparently.

when did they recieve the email and is it for class of 25'?

 

[Sir Jigger II]

No means to burst your bubble but we definitely got rejected so i don’t think there’s a point in repeatedly asking lol

Yeh I already know lol, but at this point I just want the rejection letter to come as soon as possible lol

What is the main reason why a school would space interviews so far apart? I've heard kids applying for similar years having interviews spanning around 11 days. Even the argument about the increased quota of interviews - because they have to account for 4-year groups (8,9,10,11) - doesn't make sense as you would logically stagger the interviews in blocks ie (year 8 -> 22nd- 24th, year 9 -> 25th-27th etc), right? My main query about this system is that if interviews are spaced so far apart (I doubt it takes 11 days to interview a one-year group), wouldn't this delay results indefinitely? Also the issue with "comparative marking" because increased times would surely make the standardisation between year groups harder because comparing a student's holistic skills to another one 11 days apart would be quite hard, wouldn't it? In one sense it could jeopardise at least one of these student's acceptance. Personally, this hasn't happened but I'm just interested.

Why'd you mention this? Was someone saying interviews are so far apart?
