Is it a bad choice to put penrith as first pref and girra as second pref for year 9 entry?

wouldn’t you put a higher ranking school on top if o were you I’d put girra above Penrith cause people transfer from Penrith to girra too

I think shes putting Ruse or Baulko as first, but yeah i agree

yea 4 girra is pretty much the same as Penrith, but but the skl is much closer to kids who apply 4 it

Yeah that’s true a lot of people I know prefer girra but to each their own, my friends were saying girra because they were good at science or something like at chem

 

[Viva_student2025]

Yeah I would put girra as first, but penrith recently got higher than girra so I'll wait until next year when the 2025 rankings are out. I also live way closer to penrith, so idk...

Yeah I'll probably put ruse or baulko as first

But do HAST schools like penrith and girra accept students for year 9 entry if no one left the cohort, but they have really good HAST results?

@Kylin1276 idk if youre still on here, but only 1 person is transferring into ruse year 8, compared to 4 people last year. and only 1 person into year 10 too. it seems you got unlucky, try again for entry into year 9

im not sure about that it depends honestly usually not unless they offer extra places

 

[woo_879]

theres only been a few occurrences where that has happened, i know a handful of people get into girra in y10 and they didnt get in in y9 though if that helps, but theres no harm trying

 

[woo_879]

though i'd say that for year 9, the high chance schools are ruse, baulkho and like a hast school

If hurlstone said nothing it means ur prolly on the reserve list as well but I honestly don’t know. Like I think the way it works is ur 2nd pref school can’t reject or accept you until your first pref does..

All speculation tho but Sydney tech kids are leaving so try not to worry too much ….

dude finally after hurlstone ghosting me for so long, they dropped an email today, and as everyone could have predicted i got rejected , oh well at least im still reserve for tech and mac fields but its so not fair bro i go to this really good private selective tuition centre once a week (he doesnt accept everyone for tutoring) and last week i got promoted to cambridge yr 10 maths, (we've been doing cambridge yr 9 so far) cuz i got full marks on the cambridge yr 9 test, but my entire class excpet me failed somehow, even the sydney boys and hurlstone kids, and my tutor said its really unfair as he thinks i deserved to get in, i think i said this last term but one kid who got the exact same hast score as me basically, he got in hurlstone bcuz he had them pref. 1, even tho in tutoring hes worse than me like consistently he fails his exams at tutoring, so what the hell is hurlstone even doing i dont know... i just wish they let u know like what position u r on the reserve list, but i just hope i get in at least ONE school

Ohh ok thanks. Do you know if the chances are higher for yr 9 entry or yr 8 entry in penrith or girra?

For year 8 entry in most schools it depends on how many people leave the school

Ohh ok thank you! Wait so according to the image, girra has more spots than penrith because it has 2-5 while penrith has 1-5?

I mean for both of them it would depend on how many people leave in that grade, it varies every year as well. Like it says theres 5 spots for ruse year 10 but this year there was only 1 person
