bro my school is so trash, its PNO (perms not obtanied) in the hsc ranks so u cant really know, estimates say around 400-500 maybe, but it was one of the most improved HSC schools in 2024 (not saying much but our principal keeps flexing it), thank god i made it to tech honestly
Bruh my school dropped by over 100 ranks 😭

Isnt parra ranked like 150ish or smth?? Ive heard about people who got in there in the selective stream who said they hated it cause in year 9-12 they were streamed with the rest of the cohort and they absolutely hated it. Id low-key just recommend being in catchment for a public school that tends to do well like Cheltenham or Carlingford high

what year u applying for?
yea but parra would be easier to get in i say and like its so much better than my current skl, i js want a decent skl istg im not chasing for top 10 skls, im fine with parra if i get in but after what u said i might change my mind, recommend some skls tho

i mean that is somewhat true... but you dont have to be millionares. also the effectiveness of tuitions is largely dependent on the individual and how one takes in information (e.g. visual learner, sound learner, etc) like this for some people tuition is helpful whilst for other not as much. and yeah i did the hast tuition it was really good and it helped a lot for me

TLDR: do it if it works for you
what tutoring for hast did u do? also i do matrix and its getting really common now, but i feel like math and science is really helpful, i used to do eng but im dropping eng from next term

sometimes people use mid-lowish schools as a stepping stone to go to a higher one

Just a question to all the selective transfers, how did your last day of school feel? Cause you’ll basically never see that school again
