Yeah the staff are kind of forgetful like they forgot to ask for payment from my dad for the term :oops:, but other than that the person who taught me was pretty nice and chill and easily went through the concepts needed.
Man I went matt cash today and all I can say that it was horrible. They simply give you a ton load of extra work on top of work that's already a pain in your neck. I understand that in year 11 your expected to have a high volume of work but Matt cash goes through too much stuff that's never gonna get tested in an exam and wastes quality time that could have been spent going through topics from school.

The Year 8-11 Selective Entry Season is approaching fast, I know applicants will be faced with stress and anxiety but let me tell you, that will all come to pass, I will share my own story of transferring between schools in years 8-11.

I was a student at Sydney Boys High School, a so called selective high school that was supposed to cater for scholar-sportsmen. At SBHS, I was poorly taught and received the lowest of marks. I was constantly bullied by my peers and was forced to attend SATURDAY SCHOOL for the sake of SPORT. Overall, I must say all SBHS has shown to me that it's pupils are inherently toxic and there is a very potent bullying culture in the school. All this pressure had left me no choice but to try out for the by far better and evermore prestigious Sydney Technical High School, a prestigious selective high school for academically gifted and talented boys.

The journey to get to Sydney Tech was hard, having being applying from the rubbish SBHS, I had no support whatsoever from my peers or the school SBHS either, I felt like GIVING UP. Yet, I stayed up all night studying and grinding upon how I can GET INTO STHS, I believed that Sydney Boys cannot put me down, my eyes started to go RED but I DID NOT GIVE UP. One day the exam day came, I did the HAST and aced it with full marks and got into the great Sydney Technical High School, a school for academically gifted boys.

Attending Sydney Tech was great and was so much better better than attending Sydney Boys, I used to ace every test and eventually I had become the dux of the school when I graduated, I went on to own 50 LAMBORGHINIS, 60 FERRARIS, 70 ROLLS ROYCES, AND 100 BUGATTIS, Plus 80 mansions. This is what you can achieve by going to Sydney Tech instead of Sydney Boys. #reject sb. I highly recommend to all yr 7-10 techies to not apply for Sydney Boys and for all parents of primary school boys to make their sons apply for Sydney Tech instead of Sydney Boys.
ts was so inspiring bro 🥹 now that i attend sydney tech as a student for the first time, its pretty good academically BUCKETLOADS of hw, like we got hw from the first day for like every subject, the teachers can lowkey be scary and strict like military style but ig academic wise and also in terms of student environment tech is good, still waiting for my 50 lambos, 60 ferraris, 70 rolls royces, 100 bugattis, and 80 mansions though.

Yeah I also too went I only had an experience with one teacher but I heard its good if you have the Matt Cash(The guy who made Matt Cash) teaching you. I felt like they were overcomplicating many of the year 11 extension topics for no reason

It's so bad. Bro like the teachers are so random and literally nobody goes anymore. It's only good for kids in like a top school+ he gives olympiad questions that don't even come in the exam. 4/10 experience for me.

For hast writing, does anyone know how they mark it? Like do they look at your creativity or Grammar and punctuation?
