Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (4 Viewers)

[Viva_student2025]

i just realised that my sport grade for last yr (yr6) is kinda average because I was away on holiday and the instructors didn't have me take the test

Don't worry, I got a few Bs and Cs in year 6 as well
I hope my year 7 reports balance it out

 

[Viva_student2025]

Not sugarcoating its pretty hard. There's limited spots for year 8 and many talented people don't get in cuz there's simply no spots. I'm not trying to de-motivate you, but see this as a will to work even harder. The most spots are offered for year 9 entry so if you don't get in this year try again next year

Has anyone heard of any year 7 student getting into Penrith in year 8?
Also does anyone know if it’s a good idea to put girraween or hornsby as a second preference for year 8 entry?

I feel like having an a in math and English is pretty important but you're gonna make up for it with other subjects

I got a's in all subjects apart from va and pdhpe. apparently I didn't do as good in actual sports and got d in analyzing artowrks
is it ok if I also got a 'good' effort which one down from excellent effort

what should you do if your naplan results are going to come after the hast deadline, do schools accept you submitting the naplan results late?

Does anyone know if 5 A’s and 3 B’s are enough when applying for SGGHS (In the hypothetical situation I make it past the HAST test)

I got B’s in maths, science and commerce (was 1 mark short of getting an A )

I can't give you a yes or no answer but I can tell you that the hast test is a large factor to whether you get into the school

Email the school and if they say no persuade them

Yea, its just last year there was a bunch of girls trying out and only 5 girls were successful into the year 9 transfer, this year might be even more competitive since sgghs jumped in ranks

how hard is edutest for yr 7s?
also in my reports my activities are listed so do I still need to get signatures?

 

[strawberrygum]

if your activities are listed in ur report then u probably won't need to get signatures since u already proved it in ur reports

[notboard]

sorry to bother you people again but do I just take a photo of the activities listed in my report and put it in my application along with some other photos like my maths challenge booklet and stuff?

don't u have to give in the copy of the reports anyways? what school r u applying for?

 

[notboard]

baulko or maybe even ruse
I'm asking because if I have to give my activities in the application, wouldn't it be better to just give a picture of my reports highlighting my activities because it get saves time? if not, what do I do?

Guys my report might not be up to the mark but if I have a lot of exc and more than 3 superiors in edutest could I get in??
