Isn't it common sense? It's a developing selective school, so the more academically able students boosts the school's rank up.

I go to RSC. Not a bad school, due to the influx of selective students it has turned around alot. Apparently when it was named Malvina it was like a shit hole and with more wogs/lebs/armenians etc and not quite as much asians but now pretty much RSC is full of asians. You go there and you'll hardly see white lol.

Well i used to attend Ryde secondary, but then I left because I wasn't able to do my subjects...

yr 12 2009 had a really strong cohort, but i don't think the 2010 cohort will do as well
Apparently my cohort is the worst of them... the 2011 one.
15 students from the selective stream left to attend different schools; I was part of the selective stream (i left to do my subjects :L)

So it all varies, it came 121st in 2007, 166th in 2008, 62nd in 2009....

And also if you want to go there, just beware that subject variety is limited there. I'd rather attend a senior campus with the largest range of subjects amongst a large cohort..

Yea i went to RSC 2009, and like 4205808 said, we had a really strong cohort.
I really doubt we'll get in the top 100 again in the next few years.
And yes, the subject variety is very limited, and science faculty is terrible

The only subjects that are good there are economics, business studies and geography
Apparently students who got 90s in the maths 2U, 3U and 4U all got tutored (except justin szot i think), and the teachers aren't that good as a whole there...

there are some good teachers there but apparently new ones come in and then appear to be pretty shit :/
