Re: Top 100 Schools

Surprise surprise with James Ruse in 1.

 

[Spiritual Bean]

School rank last year: 381
This year: 121

look at me now
look at me now
im getting paperrr

started from the bottom, now we're here (jokes we started at the top, then bomb out cohort took us to the ground)

 

[pHyRe]

grammar at 9th, thought they would be higher given the state rankings and 1sts.

guess they musta had a crap tail or something.


also, i heard nsb was really bad this year. but 4th is alright.

Is it possible that a lot of the good Grammar students did the IB, so thus are not counted in the DA system?

 

[pokka]

oh yay 15th, approx back to where my school was in 2011

ive never heard that they offered ib?

if they do, then coming 9th and all these state rankings is phenomenal

doing IB would disadvantage a school a lot though i reckon. imagine if the top 30 from ruse suddenly didn't count cause they did IB, i dont think theyd consistently top...

 

[nerdasdasd]

Isn't the IB harder than the HSC?

 

[pHyRe]

the top is about the same, IB might be a little harder. but IB doesnt have so many easy subjects like the HSC has to have.

also, you can fail ib apparently. but dunno how easy it is to fail.

Yes, that was the general concensus lol.

At least NSG is still in the top 5 *coughs*as opposed to 2009*coughs*

 

[4025808]

[OMGITzJustin]

[bui123]

They don't do the IB

The kids from my school used that a lot! (although it was true )
"my school would be better ranked if the IB counted"

I think it's considerably more difficult

You fail if you get below like 24 (or ~70ish atar iirc) or something like that

I think one guy failed it in my year... he was dux of the school in year 7-9 and bombed out because he did all the difficult subjects

 

[JT145]

my school

cya mate

2011: 45
2012: 89
2013: 112

next year's cohort is good though. The school's marketing team will have a field day with them. :/

 

[JT145]

[leesh95]

[kalstar]
