For girra yr 8 entry, all the ppl IK got reserved, no offers/interview. does anyoen know if girra gave offer/interview for year 8 entry???
I called girra earlier this year before applying for HAST, and they said nobody has left the yr 7 cohort so far this year, so there are no places available. I guess ppl could still get in if they got reserved, because someone could leave in term 4 this year or term 1 next year...

I'm thinking of doing HAST for yr 9 entry as well as edutest. Do you guys think I should do HAST for girra or penrith if I had to choose one?

I live closer to Penrith but I'm happy with going to girra if it's better. I live like 5 mins away from Penrith and 30 mins away from girra.
ok if you're worried, just wait for the rankings to come out early next year and if Girraween has a 10+ rank difference then apply there ig, but imo their rankings are always gonna be relatively similar and they seem to fluctuate kinda a lot and thats just what happens to schools in rank 30-45. i personally think that you should just apply to penrith bc its sm closer for u and this lowk sounds hypocritical bc of my own situation but travel time can do a LOT, like that 25 minute difference is more sleep or study or just more downtime between school and whatever u need to do afterwards. but you should also consider things like extracurricular culture, overall school culture, etc. (i personally think girra and penrith are very similar in the two aspects)

If I put penrith as first pref and girra as second, can I still get accepted into girra if I get rejected by penrith, or do they prioritize ppl who put the school as first more?
