Hey, I believe the heading did say 'which school will top'...not 'which school has the most funding'....i dont mean to sound rude although I think the thread did go off on a sort of a tangent!
I agree with this:
"it is shameful that many private shoolers dont work hard. but i must admit, if you have a brain and are committed you will succeed in the hsc no matter what school you go to. it may be the difference of 2 pts but with uni allowances of 5 pts in some cases its a fair deal."
Both my brother and sister go to a private school and my brother is leaving school this year and my sister is moving to my high school which is public on her own accord! Both my brother and sister did not benefit from a private school! But it does honestly depend on the person...
Although I did go to a state school, i believe I was not limited on resources. I have heaps and heaps of photocopied notes as well as my textbooks and teachers in my school would stay back in the afternoon for extra tutorials...
But anyways, Im not worried which school gets the highest ranking, all I have to worry about is my own mark and if I get into to what I want to do, cause i dont think my school will get me into what i want to do, instead I do it myself!
