Pretty much. It's less dangerous than alcohol to be honest.

There are a few, but I wouldn't say it's "full of" them.This reminds me of Breaking Bad.

The only reason selective school kids do well is because of internal competition and the hard work/intelligence on the students part.
Most of their other facilities are average.

Yep. And teachers have the same qualifications as they do at any other public high school. It's just the competitive atmosphere that (usually) gets them to get decent marks.

Yeah sure, I never said that people who smoke weed are unintelligent. Sorry If I came across as trying to imply that.

I'm aware that you weren't implying it. I just thought I'd add it since the topic is about how smart selective students are.Yeah sure, I never said that people who smoke weed are unintelligent. Sorry If I came across as trying to imply that.

I've heard that Tech has a lot of Wogs/Greeks/Mediterraneans/Middle-Eastern kids compared to most other selectives.. but don't quote me, just what I've been told..I'm aware that you weren't implying it. I just thought I'd add it since the topic is about how smart selective students are.

In Year 11, we had some kids from Epping Boys join our school. 1 of them ended up leaving after like a few terms because he didnt like it at Baulkham Hills and all of them said that the teachers at Epping Boys were a lot more dedicated and generally better teachers than the ones at Baulkham Hills

Maybe so (I am one of them), but most of the grade is still Asian.

Haha my old school!
That guy came 1st in all of his subjects and state ranked Modern and got 99.2 so it didn't affect him - not staying at Baulko. Although he came Dux internally, he didn't get Dux ATAR-wise because he didn't do 4 unit maths... LOL

How did the other Epping Boys' go?
Selective schools have a wide range of people and because the system filters people from like the age of 12, the school alone is not the sole indicator of people's stengths.
Like at my selective school (top10) ATARs range from about 55-99.95 and there's always a kid who misses out on a university offer.
