Er, obviously not? I think it has been well established by now that Hornsby came second, for either the second or third year running now. Why are you making this run around in circles?Anyhow, wasn't it something like Ruse, Baulko, NSG, SGS, SGHS, ..., NSBHS, SBHS, FSHS, SGGHS, then Hornsby, ensued by stuff like Tech and others?

...perhaps it was honor list mentions, Jachie.
OH OH OH, this is the article I was referring to, btw (see above, post 18); http://www.smh.com.au/text/articles/2007/07/29/1185647743489.html
Beneath that article, in broadsheet form, is an article pertaining to tuition or something, SBHS, and one "Jack Burney", initially from the Cranbrook School.
"You learn to forget prejudices at Sydney Boys because of all the different nationalities here," he [Jack Burney] said.
'Of his Asian-background counterparts, Jack said: "They know how to buckle down. They have a very strong work ethic. It might be part of the culture."'
'Jaggar said many students of Asian background had "shown up some of our blonde-haired Aussies" and they were sometimes unfairly accused of gaining unfair entry to his school. "These kids are smart and they have a good work ethic," he said. "The reason they got in is not due to coaching."'
[I think this warrant its own thread, or at least should perhaps be moved into the how was your day thread.]
I was also horribly repulsed when, in Maths, we were doing Probability and the question was; "if I were to randomly pick a student, what is the probability of picking a curry {verbatim}". The teacher, of course, was using this and the stereotypes of the students of the school; those are the school is divided into three groups: "Asians", "Curries", and "Whities".

Pardon me for making this 'run around in circles', Jachie.
Could you please find the stats for the top schools and such?
Sooo, if your school is that well, why are things that you narrate going on, such as the dropping out, the aversion towards school, and such (iirc)?
