Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (5 Viewers)

[Smartboiiii]

hello everyone can I ask a question, how many absences in a semester would actually hinder your 8-11 selective application, like hypothetically if someone's grades were alright absences were a bit high (maybe even like 20) in a semester, what would their situation be at?

Also what if their attendance bounced back in the next semester?

Thanks

How on earth do you even go absent for 20 days IN ONE SEMESTER

I’ve only been absent for 7 days THIS ENTIRE YEAR

Anyways uhhh regarding your situation I have no idea but 20 absences in one semester is like way too much

noooo, I haven't been away for 20 days myself this semester, but I was just curious whether that would hinder your application

99.9999% yes bc top hast skl rlly expect students to have high attendance so if they were to select them they can attend a lot extracurrcular n keep with their studies. also they've strict rules for absence per semester, (how do uk bc i read the attendance section of girraween handbook n man it was rlly firm with its rules). so yea imo it can hinder ur application

do you know how many people leave in year 8 (how many spots are there for year 9 entry)?

well depends i suppose but considering ruse+baulko open new classes those years, theres usually 5-8 spots??

Y8 sem 2: 6As, 2Bs (pdh, geo)
Y8 sem 1: 4As, 4Bs (pdh, geo, woodwork, maths)

Excs + competitions:
Top band in every naplan
Part of panorama team
Participated in debating comp
Top 5% in the science 8 test
Plays soccer and my team won the premiership
Referees for soccer and has done academy and grand final matches
Part of the enrichment program the school offers

oh i see but what about like if you have perfect attendance (or close) in the semester after it? like say u had bad attendance and then really good attendance next year, i think they would let that slide then?
