Girraween High vs Penrith High (1 Viewer)

[DaMinion]

Hey all,

Which school is better, Penrith or Girraween? I have received offers from both, and I am more inclined to pick Girraween, but I keep hearing mixed reviews from different people, websites and even study discussion websites like these regarding Girraween's performance, especialy lately as it is falling ranks. Can somebody please tell me which one is better and how they both pale in comparison, because I really don't know if I'm being honest. Please also consider the future of both schools, as I am getting entry into Year 9 and will spend 4 years at either of these.

Thank you.

I've heard that girra has toxicity and extreme homework mass. But Girra seems good as well. Honestly, picking the higher ranked school is more beneficially if you can handle the homework, etc.

Both are really good schools, that perform similarly so if you want a better academically performing school Girraween would be the choice, but Penrith is a lot better socially. Also depends on which one is closer and more convenient.
