2007: People got 99, and one 100 UAI

2009: Highest was 99.75

2010: Highest was 99.1

So I can safely say our cohorts from previous years are better. Hence our school gets worse each year. Hopefully our year can improve on that.
To complete your table, the highest for 2008 was 98.9

So it fluctuates year by year. This year, there are no spectacular people in our cohort so I'm not expecting the highest ATAR to be any higher than 99. Heck, we don't even know who our dux will be. There's a potential 5 ppl we know who can get dux.

The people at my school who get the highest ATARs are the ones who do General Maths, Drama, Food Tech, CAFS, Adv English and Ext English.
I have no hope.
HOLY SHIT! SAME!
Well, it's like every second year.
Last year the kid that came 1st did General maths, Geography, Economics, English (Advanced), SOR1 and something else he didn't get a band 6 in and he got 98.XX
But the year before it was J.C. with MX1+2, Chem, Eco, SOR1 and English Advanced with like 99.2 or something.
It usually alternates like this.
Also the guy that came 2nd did standard. That's me this year :D
lol jk I'll come 5th with 97.XX :(

I hope I can lift our results.

This year I'm pretty sure someone in general maths will come first unless it's an international student who aces everything including ESL.

5th with an ATAR of 97 is still great! 97 at my school would probably be first and 5th would be 92.

They don't offer ESL at my school because we're racist :)
But yeah, I would love to do ESL lol.

Fifth at my school last year was like 96.1 but our cohort's top students are much stronger.
The top half of chemistry are all getting 80%+ and last year the kid who came second got 1% above what I'm getting now and got 89.
Bio class has 3 MX2 kids and last year had none. And I'm coming 2nd with like 4% higher than last year's top which got 94 or 95.
So I think we should do fine :)

Thats good but every weekend is a bit much, seriously excess of everything is bad, but if you're cool with it it's alright

But it's more like every 2 of 3 is a 17th with no drinking and then every 1 of 3 is an 18th where I get blitzed and make a complete idiot of myself, which is always fun when people tell me at musical practice the next day I was hitting on Clissold's underage sister.
I fucking wasn't!

The person must be smart then, or since there's more number of first in course, whichever works

hmm I tend to avoid drinking energy drinks or up and go since they're not good in the long term..
