Guess thats good ay haha

They actully gave the resulsts for the ACER HAST aswell so that was pretty sik =]

gd luk.

congrats. cool. what school do you go to now? whats your name?

do you have to go to an interview?

i dunno,, girra a pretty crap & pov school =/ i go to it atm. its alright though,, some teachers are good too

imho,, its probably the biggest selective hole in nsw....

ohh i see why you received your letter yesterdayy. the principal was sorting out the placements for next year yesterday, and was interviewing the students that were leaving. that was really weird since i wasnt expecting it,, and she asked really random questions like why do you want to go to baulko :S

there's a chance you may have my position xD i think theres like 20 new students coming in,, and like 10 to replace people who are leaving (9 of which are going to baulko )

heyy shiv

nice to meet you xD

do you know anyone else going to girra?

any tips? hmmm....lemme think...

when's your interview? i might see you if its next week since i have my yealies on, and i dont have any lessons, just exams and lots of time to like study and stuff.

what subjects are you doing next year? i think she'll ask you about that. I roughly know the subject lines for 2009 yr11 at girra so yehh.

hm.... they usually ask the same questions to everyone.

basically wear your school uniform, tie if you have one, listen to what she has to say, manners etc.

but yeh, dont worry about it too much,, you've already made it

i had to have my interview before they accepted me into baulko so it was different so yehh

personally, i dont really like the new girra principal though =/

Has anyone else made it to Baulko/Girra/Penrith?

 

[lyounamu]

And of the 0.01%?

That's the chance of the school to get it wrong. The public education system these days...

What school is that?

 

[XShiv]

Hey umm i got an interview offer from Normanhurst Boys today.
I was wondering if i get in what be a better choice Normo or Girra?

Im thinking Girra atm interms of distance and convenience.

Any thoughts?

 

[gmail92]

Depends. Where do you live?

I had a look at the 2007 rankings of the HSC for both schools,, theyre both quite similar

HSC RANKINGS 2007
--------------------------
Name of school
Exams sat (Students that sat the next)
Distinguished Achievers
% (DA% of total)

Normanhurst Boys High School
742
223
30.05

Girraween High School
835
218
26.11

HSC rankings fluctuate a bit with each year.

Your choice?

But yeh, a closer school is more convinient. How much closer is Girra than Normo?

 

[XShiv]

Hey i live in Bella Vista which is basiclly the hills.
So yea girra isnt far at all, i mean the bus stop is right across the road from my current bus stop so nothing really changes in terms of commuting for me.

But for Normo i would have to wake up earlier and catch a bus to castle towers and then a bus from their to normo.

But yea as you said there both quite similliar in terms of rankings/marks.

thanx for the help

 

[gmail92]

haha... i just realised

would you rather go to a school with girls, or without girls?



well normo is partnered with hornsby,, but normo aint co-ed so yehh

ohh,, there's tons of people in my grade from the hills area too

no problem

so whats your choice?

 

[theviet]

did anyone who applied for baulko and james ruse...

and got into both schools?
