"A regional comprehensive is also in the top 100. Alstonville High School, in the state's north, beat all four private schools in the Ballina/Lismore region.
Seven of the school's year 12 students scored 50 out of 50 for English extension 2, including a 2005 Herald Young Writer of the Year, Emily Fleming.
"
THAT'S INTERESTING. A subject - which has no real checks and balances and no real 'examination' - was astoundingly topped repeatedly by one regional school. Wow, that must be a class full of unique genius minds, magically together and *supervised* by the same teacher. That's what I love about ext. 2: we're all on a level playing field.
