Girra or Penrith? (1 Viewer)

[Jonathon Dwight Jones]

Uhhh that aint adding up, hs has become important so you moved further away from all the good schools?

No During primary (K-6) I lived in Baulkham Hills in an apartment then in the middle of yr 7 I moved into a house but in Quakers Hill. Also, it was my parents choice, I didn't have a say in it.

Okay yeah fair enough, closest school for you is probably girra but that sounds horrible. Alot of students who go to baulko also live around your area so it cant be that large of a disadvantage. Plus, baulko is a very good school so it'll be more worth it than going to girra even if its double the travel time

Quakers Hill, only abt 10m drive to blacktown station/westpoint

Baulko has a bus to quakers lol

You guys are making girra sound a lottt worse than it is when you havent started senior hs LOL

Imo i think you have a better chance with baulko since theres a test you can prep for. Fort is mainly based on report and extracurriculars so your report has to be extremely good (A's on everything) for you to even get a decent chance.

Edutest isnt too hard to prep for since its moreso accuracy and speed. Given that, i think 1.penrith 2.baulko 3.fort is a better idea

Although I dont think 3 hours travel both ways for fort street is worth it

I mean if your sources are y10's who haven't started y11 that's probably not the most informed decision.

1 Year 12 isn't a maturely informed decision either

Put it instead of fort then if u want

 

[eternallyboreduser]

Put it instead of fort then if u want

But i definitely recommend leaving penrith and baulko as options

lolol yea but so many good teachers left its tragic. also objectively speaking the grades are getting dumber and dumber (like the ones after 2024).

Thank you, for baulko should i aim for around 3-4 superiors and the rest as above average to have a decent chance of getting in? Also, does baulko care that much abt extracurriculars or mainly academics based?

I think mainly academics but you should still have extracurriculars to set you apart. Aim for superiors for everything but you probably dont need to get that for a decent chance. Just do as well as possible. Go and practice for the edutest itll help you alot.

Also, can someone explain what happened to Girra, all i can tell is there's no more good teachers left and their principal is shit now
