Do you even recommend trying out for James ruse next year..? I swear I’ll sell again in the verbal reasoning cause ITS SO WEIRDDDDD
also check DMs I need help lol

I mean why not, theres no harm in trying. Although i think you should prioritise Girra and Penrith for year 10 entry, since only 1 person got into ruse year 10 this year

Wait so if you want to apply for 1 edutest school, but 2 HAST schools (like penrith, girra and ruse), do you put all 3 schools down in each application when it asks for what schools you want to apply for, or do you put both penrith and girra when completing their school application, and just ruse when doing the ruse application? (Because apparently ruse doesn’t share results with Penrith and girra)

I don’t think this makes sense but idk how to explain it lol

I'm not sure since i only applied for one school, but i reckon you would put all 3 in each application. Someone correct me if im wrong lol

Thanks for the website gave me a ton of insight

Andddd it looks like penrith is better than girraween for me with the subjects I want (somehow)

Look ik Penrith is good, but dont go there, ull have to do entrance exams 4 subjects( and can get blacklsited fr from choosing them ) u want so you can't just choose, u've limited freedom. Penrith vs girra bos forum said the environment is toxic, n penrith kids do accerlated subjects more than Girra, so that's y they ranked higher than Girra etc so anyway ur choice but i just informing of whats rlly going on there

u dont put edutest skl in the hast forms, there separate skl types n yea edutest skl don't share results cuz (hast skls) they dont do edutest exam,

Wait what?
So I can’t pick like physics and Chem? I mean if ext 2 math requires an entrance test I understand but surely they don’t block you from choosing normal subjects??
Also I genuinely don’t know if Penrith kids are toxic or not, you’re the only person who told me so far

[Viva_student2025]

yeah the penrith environment is apparently more toxic thats also why i chose girra over penr

Tbh I've actually always heard that the environment of girra is more toxic compared to penrith, but they're better in academics, and penrith has a better environment and society.... Idk

really? ive heard a lot of people prefer girra

 

[Viva_student2025]

Yeah idk someone just told me that girra is filled with toxic ppl. I can't really say much because I've never been to any of those schools...

true neither can I, honeslty theres good and bad about every school, its good to know how your grade cohort is but thats kinda hard, because even if like the year 11s or year 7's are toxic, its not gonna reallly affect you, ykwim. and then people form opinions based on a small portion of a school, so... yeah its kinda hard to tell

Yeah I've always put penrith as my first preference because it's rlly close to me, and I've heard a lot of good reviews. But now people are saying it's full of toxic people... I didn't really care too much about the "toxic environment" because it's not really gonna affect me, I just don't know about the subject selection thing, where apparently you can only choose physics or something if you get a certain mark.

both but more on subject selection im pretty sure
