i had an offer to Ruse in yr 6 for yr 7 and chose to decline, both my bro and sister went there but my parents and more importnatly I didn't like the feeling of the school, there was too much emphaise on marks and work and not enough co-curricular and sporting activities for me. So the main reason i declined was that i didn't like the feel of the school at all

"I caught up with one of our defectors yesterday. Apparently all the 08er's got pulled in for a grade talk because they were only averaging 98.5 or something, based on their trial marks. Oo so the 99.XX could be plausible. I didn't think to ask."

the median was actually 98.95 and it was solely based on trials and people did ALOT better in the other assessments

if you get the opportunity to go to ruse. TAKE it. You might say lame things like "Ruse people don't have social lives" but the fact is if you expect a school to make a social life for you...you didn't really have one to begin with.

Or alternatively "the sport sucks" Unless you plan on representing Australia in the friggin olympics, no one gives a flying fuck if you play sport or not.

I didn't apply for Ruse, even though it's really close for me. I go to Baulko instead :D Even though it's quite inaccessible...

But i have heaps of friends at Ruse; half the people in my OC went there. And they keep stealing heaps of people from our school every year! I reckon if we kept all those people we'd be smarter than Ruse :p

They put on pretty good musicals though :)

Newtown Performing Arts, yeah. He and his entire family are musos, plus he's really good at drama. Yeah, he's the only one leaving this year.
