[Kylin1276]

I swear if I don’t get the results, I’m gonna literally crash out. The schools are actually rage-baiting us. I wish I can get my results early and proceed to the interview cause Ruse is my dream school.

I also did the test at ruse for year 9 entry lol. Results aren't out yet, for successful applicants it will likely be sometime this week, and much later for unsuccessful applicants, once the transfer students have been confirmed

How was your test? Did you find it easy? If you have an idea, how many year 8 gave the test you think. I think it could be anywhere between 100 to 150. Also not all sat the test at JR but put JR as first preference, isn't it. My extra curricular profile is not great (almost none) so I am not sure.

 

[saneetaa]

Does it help if im from nsg?

i feel like ur school ranking also tells a lot abt u bcs if u go to a top 10 school aka nsg and get good results or stuff like B then thats good compared to someone who gets an A in a top 200 school

-Ja, test was sort of easy(actually let's not jinx it, it was alright) but I really struggled with numerical reasoning in particular due to the financial maths problems, especially the shampoo one
-I'd say that's about the right number of people, so many that they had to split us into the gym and hall
-It's okay lol my extracurriculars are terrible. I only have music, and some school lunchtime clubs but I don't know if those even count as extracurriculars

Omg same, i've wanted to go to Ruse ever since I heard it was a school(~Year 4 or 5). At first it was because of agriculture but now I genuinely think that going to JR will be a major improvement from my current school(it has facilities, more friends, slightly closer to my home)

Bro same. I remember when I was in kindergarten, my dad would tell me about how great James Ruse is and it just made me aspire to get into James ruse

do you guys think 3 superiors, a high average and an above average is enough to get baulkho. math reading and numerical were superior. my report was ok. 3 A's 4B's 2 C's. I have a decent amount of awards from diffrent things. What do u guys think

what year are you applying for

 

[Yes99]

Thx man, I am applying for yr 11 tho

ruse and nsg!!

For people applying into Year 11 at ruse, there be will about 10 to 15 spots this year.
Successful candidates will also be joining us for the end of the year camp in Nov, 3 days I think.
Good luck

since we're on the topic of james ruse agricultural high school, here's a FUN FACT!

underline –– idk if i learnt this right, will fact check soon

did you know james ruse agricultural high school was actually named after an english prisoner? here's the story.
he grew up in england during the industrial revolution times, when towns were heading for poverty (as more people were moving to cities), this affected james ruse aswell. so what did he do to overcome the horrible ancient-day poverty lifestyle? he became a thief. he broke into someone's house and stole many valuables, most notable ones were two silver watches. when james was caught, he was originally given a guillotine sentence (death penalty), but then it was changed for him to stay on a floating prison (anchored/useless ships used for makeshift prisons) for around 7 years. but partway throughout his sentence, he was sent on one of the first fleet ships , to britain's new convict colony to what we now know as australia. james ruse arrived to australia in 1788, where his prison sentence ended in 1789. after his sentencing, he chose to settle in australia.

now here is where we get to the equilibrium of "james ruse" and "agriculture", and why it's called james ruse agricultural high school.
james ruse wanted to pursue a farming career, so he requested the governor for some land. the governor at the time (governor arthur phillip [wait that's who arthur phillip high school is named after!? what's with all these parramatta schools being named after people from the precambrian eon ]) did a little experiment on james. the governor let him stay in a government-owned land to observe a convict's capability to independently grow a farm. and so ruse did his thing, farming and all that. a year later, governor came to visit james and noticed he was able to successfully grow a wheat harvest! wowza! and because of that, in 1791, james ruse was the first person in NSW to be granted land, the land in question is 30 acres, which he used for farming. ruse spent the rest of his life farming and getting more land grants before he passed away. as for the 30 acres of land, he sold that land in 1793 which that purchased land was used to build a cottage, which has now been turned into some sort of a house museum?? you can check it out for yourself it's called Experiment Farm Cottage, located in Harris Park.

so the moral of the story is, you can always turn your life around with a criminal record. just because you get mugged at blacktown station where they get caught, doesn't mean the mugger is going to live a sad criminal life for the rest of their life, they could turn into a revolutionary agriculturalist. and who knows? maybe the next top selective agricultural high school will be named after them.

not every year group but there are many camp opportunities, and if you join cadet, there is an annual camp for 9/10 days every year in December.

Do u think I have a chance in yr 10 entry to baulko or ruse with 3 superiors and 2 above average? I go to a top 10 skl. My reports are straight As except 2bs in s1 of last year. I have 60-70 certificates of extracurricular achievements and many Distinction, high distinction certificates. I also have some leadership. My naplan was almost all top triangle except 2. Ik that year 10 entry is hard but I wanted to get ur opinions on whether I have a chance?
