If this statement is accurate, I would not take into consideration of applying into Pals. IMO, if I had the desire to enrol into any school – pristine or not, I would reflect on one factor, that of the teachers. The only people who should be educating us, providing us with information and support are those of teachers because they are trained. I wouldn’t want an engineer to fulfil an occupation which is not closely correlated to one another. It is understandable that engineers are well-versed in Mathematics and Science, but engineers should not embody the role of a teacher – a tutor, I can come to a consensus with that idea, but NOT a teacher.BAD IDEA mate.
The teachers there are actually engineers. Not capable of tailoring you to beat the HSC. Don't have much experience - you could easily get a better tutor for the same price.
Students work from their random worksheets and Coroneos - while adequate, it doesn't quite cater to ensure you can tackle the higher mark questions.
Also, the main tutors there (Seth and Panha) are easily sidetracked. Tons of bs (more from Panha) comes from their mouths.
Overall: Mediocre. Not bad, not good. Wouldn't go there again.
Although Pals ranked in the top 100, to me, that bears no relevance. I would want to attend a school, where teachers are trained, qualified and experienced. Also, such a school that places a greater emphasis on Mathematics and Science, in my opinion is distasteful. As a student, I would want to attend a school where to the least, they specialise in Mathematics, Science and English, not just the aforementioned subjects.
But really, Pals seems like a great school, perfect for anyone who would like to improve their results in Mathematics and Science and ultimately enhance their general understanding of the subjects.
