damn, what did u get for your hast, and what year did you apply for that time?

I was in the lower half of the top 10%. I had applied for entry into year 10. I suppose it made sense, since the competition was so saturated.

damn, how were your reports and did u put girra first preference?

and u still didn't get in?

Yes, I had straight B's apart from a C in mathematics and an A in science. The maths exams for my old schools were rather. Questionable. My teacher loved to say 'Nobody in my class can score an A!', so.

 

[KoKoNutz]

you got penrith tho, right?

 

[sillyfunnycritter]

err I can't say, according to their websites, both Girraween and Penrith have classes open for Year 10, but according to my brother in Girraween (grad 2024), they almost always open a class for Year 11.

Girraween is picky. I got rejected because my "Behaviour Profile for your Year 9 report contains a number of "usually" and "sometimes"."

That was it. But also, Girraween is a better school. If your report is good, and you've studied for HAST, go for Girra.
If you're ready to feel abysmally worthless and that all your efforts consistently add to nothing, go for Penrith!

hey bro
they did that in y10 i think. me and like 10 other kids made it last year and i assumed they were doing the same as penrith
DONT GO PENRITH YALL....

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

and u still didn't get in?

Not even top 20% of Girraween applicants. Reports matter a lot, I suppose, hence why I'm so worried this year. I'm not doing much better, despite the fact I've been trying so much harder...

[KoKoNutz]

[Bendwhat?_over]

ahhh made sense, what preference were ur schools?

Girraween, Penrith, and another school I don't remember but ended up being irrelevant anyway.

[KoKoNutz]

[Bendwhat?_over]

Seems so. What are you trying for? Penrith? It really depends on the open classes as well, considering how many spots there are, who you're up against... You know the stuff.

 

[sillyfunnycritter]

Sillyfunnycritter is correct.

Was your year 9 report any good..?

my year 9 report was crazy. i did accelerated maths and had a 94 average, 1st in english and top 10 in science, etc. the fall off this year is insane bro.

 

[KoKoNutz]
