Wait so is this for Girraween or another school?Also good news, my mum called the school asking for my results and they said a lot of y8 kids are leaving so they’re making new spots!
oh ok so my yr 8 sem 1 report was 4As (STEAM, science, geo, aboriginal languages (for some reason)), 2Bs (maths, english), and 4Cs (pdhpe, music, art, tech, yeah its pretty obvs i didnt care much for these subjects, but i dont think these matter much anyways) then yr 7 sem 2 report was 2As, 5Bs, 3Cs, and yr 7 sem 1 was 1 A, 5Bs, 4CsOhh that’s okay but if you don’t mind telling me what were your reports like
Mine were:
Y8 - 4As 4Bs
Y7 sem 2 - 2As 4Bs 2Cs
Y7 sem 1 - 2As 3Bs 3Cs
I had tech as 3rd choice and I didn’t make it, yet I don’t have my hast results cause Girraween was my first preference and they’re taking FOREVER to send it
I’m in the gifted class too
but I think the way it works is by the end of t4, if you got no phone calls saying you got accepted the it unfortunately means you’re rejected. Did they tell you what reserve you were by any chance?
This is for Sydney tech, I think girraween has reserves too though according to my friends who applied last year
Also 10 subjects!?
nope sadly, all they said that im on the reserve list, i think they stopped giving out ranks within the reserve listI’m in the gifted class too
Congrats on getting reserved though
hope so, i mean theyre cant possibly be THAT many on reserve list with me right?? also if my parents dont pick up the phone call if they get it in term 4, will tech send an email too?
Well just hang in there and if u don’t get a call from the school by late t4 i recommend calling or emailing them and just letting them know how good of a fit you’d be, this could potentially move your reserve ranking higher and you could get in
so have spots fully opened yet? or r the official vacancies by these boys leaving gonna be in early term 4? also do i need to contact the school now, or should i only do it later in term 4 if nothing has come yet, contacting them cant make a difference in the ranking right?
Basically, Youre one the reserve list and whenever a spot is open (usually when a kid gets into a better school), the highest ranked reserve gets called by the school asking if they’d like that spot. If not it moves to the next reserve. While I wouldn’t call them INSTANTLY, I’d definitely wait but if it’s like week 7 of the next term and I still got no offers thats when I would try calling. Although personally I’m not sure if it makes a difference since I’m not the most experienced, it’s definitely worth doing and is pretty harmless.
Nothing at all, you?
Not just yet
