Hi,

Should I consider moving to Baulkho, NorthSydney boy, Sydney boy or any other selective high school?
My parent seems to want me to move but I don't see the point of moving?

or is there anything I should consider for HSC?

you're so polite and sympathetic. Its such a nice trait to see in this world where u can't even talk to kids, and adults without feeling like ur talking like 5 years olds lol. Just thought i'd tell u because its such a good thing to be :)
eh I sound so creepy lol😭

If you're happy with where you are, just stay. School isn't just about ATAR marks (until you get to year 12 that is lmao). But it's entirely up to you.

i would move. the difference between top schools, particularly in internal assessments, shows up during y12

That depends on what OP wants to do. If he's going for med, sure, aim for the top. If they are doing anything else there's not that much point since an ATAR of somewhere around 95 is sufficient for every other degree.

Again, it's up to OP (or his parents lol). But then, I probably don't give good advice given I just managed to scrape in to NSB on like the 30th person on the reserve list.

as someone attending a public school and doing hsc, i think the actual effort you put in matters more than the school. it also prepares you to work on your own during uni, where as in private you get quite a bit of assistance and resources.

also your school was ranked 24th last year in state, youll be fine
