thanks for the insight, but how do u know its gonna drop
it has been dropping for the past few years and they have slowly been shifting away from a focus on academics to a focus on leadership and creative arts. and its a simple fact that people in penrith try for girra after they get in or go to penrith to move to girra later. penrith is just not worth it

ok if you really want to be sure, what are you trying to get out of your school? stuff like leadership and extracurricular opportunities, smarter cohorts, better resources, better connections to uni etc. if you are someone who is not as academically oriented but want good extracurricular and leadership opportunities go penrith, if not to to girra. if you intend on transferring to baulko or smth also go girra

go girra. also just bc you go to a school thats better in those things it won't make you do well as an individual, you might even struggle and fall behind bc thats how selective schools are. for now just think abt the short term and extracurriculars. either way penrith sucks tho

Hey all,

Which school is better, Penrith or Girraween? I have received offers from both, and I am more inclined to pick Girraween, but I keep hearing mixed reviews from different people, websites and even study discussion websites like these regarding Girraween's performance, especialy lately as it is falling ranks. Can somebody please tell me which one is better and how they both pale in comparison, because I really don't know if I'm being honest. Please also consider the future of both schools, as I am getting entry into Year 9 and will spend 4 years at either of these.

Thank you.
hey i used to penrith until this year and i would choose girra definitely. i currently am about to sit my exam so ill explain reasons why later.
