Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (1 Viewer)

[20/50=80%]

Hence just reaching out here, to see if anyone received offer from reserve list towards end of year?

I'm transition leader at my school rn, so I get to be involved with all the enrollment kind of things to see who's coming into the school new, and we have gotten people still accepting places and like rejecting places now even though offers came out nearly a month ago, so it definitely depends on the school.

Basically I just work with the teacher who oversees the new students and the mentors that get assigned to each new student to make sure that the new students transition smoothly.

I am on reserve Girraween and Penrith, and Penrith is being really difficult in saying they cannot release anything. Girraween said almost the same as you, in that there could be notifications up to the last day of term
I just wanted to know if there are any places, because I have heard that there has been a person overseas almost all year and her place isn’t filled and I wondering if others have transitioned during the year etc
I am just so frustrated on the tight lipped ‘can’t release anything’ ‘we don’t know anything’ stance. It’s unfair being that restrictive because how can people plan anything

 

[Rick Mendoza]

uh no?

dammit

heyyy I was rejected by Penrith,, I was in the middle 50% for hast with my highest score being top 15% (writing) and lowest was bottom 15% (abstact reasoning). I was honestly really surprised that I didn't do well for abstract reasoning bc I was mainly studying it before the hast. I moved to my local high school this year (for year 10). Should I reapply for Penrith? what selectives do u recommend? also I do a lot of competitions, and for my naplan I got top for all except math (second highest bit). I was much higher than my school average so I really don't want to stay. Anything more should I focus on if I were to reapply?

You're going to need scores much higher than that for Penrith. Try applying for a lower rank school. If you really want to go to Penrith though (which I personally don't reccomend), put as much time as you can into studying for HAST.

You are likely to do better in your current school than attempting to catch up with the workload of a selective school in year 11. What subjects do you want to do?
