yeh my friend delcined and went to Kings intead on a scholarship

do those scholarships last for the six years?

 

[Tensai1827]

i did, but not for this year, for last year. = =!

Always wondered. Whats ruse actually like? Is it THAT much more competitive than grammar?

 

[dp624]

It''s pretty darn competitive.
I dont know how competitive Grammar is, but judging from ruse's results, i'd say its quite a lot more so.

 

[x jiim]

I dunno. I guess it varies between the grades, and gets more competitive as you get to the HSC. Our grade is pretty close right now, and most of the competition is friendly and encourages us to do better. Of course, a lot of us have parents who'd beat the crap out of us if we failed, but hardly anyone does, so it's mostly alright.
I couldn't compare it to Grammar though, I have no idea what it's like there ==

I made JR in year seven but subsequently was offered a place at Con, but then offered a full academic scholarship to SCEGGS which is what I accepted

Isn't Con like specialised in music - so if you have an interest in music I think it would've been better to go to Con than ruse.

But yeah - generally speaking Ruse would be an awesome school to go to in my opinion - but i dunno if I'll be able to catch up.

SGS used to be getting marks close to Con High in recent years... now that our best teachers have gone away/retired, we don't even stand a chance against them... so much for the Golden Year of 07 ^_^

 

[georgefren]

what are you TALKING about?

 

[TehAzner]

lol I went to grammar, I'm in the same year as Dave Foong, Emmanuel Cassimatis, Dan Carter etc etc. Apparently our year had the best results SGS has seen in ages in music... some of the teachers called us the golden year including KSW. That's what I'm on about.

 

[georgefren]

OHHH. I thought you meant overall exam results, and i was like ... but the con is shit? but yeah in music your probs right.

 

[TehAzner]

My bad. Sorry for making you all confused, should've been more specific with my orginal post.

 

[-Anfernee-]

I, for one, would not want to go to Ruse.

They wouldn't want you anyway.

 

[autumn.dusk]

I go to Baulko and I know of at least 2 people who declined a place in Ruse for Yr 11 2009
They had completely valid reasons - they didn't believe they'd fit in, Ruse didn't offer a particular subject that they wanted, too far to travel etc.
It's all a matter of their own situations
(and I also know of one person who's pleaded to come back from Ruse!!)

 

[supersath]

Baulko much more carefree, (not to mention a tons better uniform). If I made it (even though i didn't try) then i would have declined. Some of my friends went this year from Baulko (I'm in Baulko too) and they dislike it there.

But it's also kinda lame that baulko is attempting to copy some of James Ruce's aspects (e.g new canteen)
