Blue blazer with an atom like structure on the pocket.. and a tie.

Nothing that special.
and its harder to get into JMSS than MHS/MacRob, for year 11/2011 anyway.

lol woops, i clearly haven't done my research. XD

[Hutchoo]

Itsk, I have a few friends currently going there

[AzureBlue]

Lol I only know 1 person going there -- since the school is only in its first year, how many students approx does it have?

[Hutchoo]

~380.

[iNerd]

~380.

woah? r yu' sure? I got into JMSS but stayed at MHS...didn't even seem lyk 380 tried lmao

[Furbob]

lol a year 9 who I used to catch the bus to school with - who is now a year 10, goes to JMSS

I sometimes see her at the bus stop and I she tells me that she's studying electives like "Marine Biology" and I'm pretty sure she told me that she was doing French as well? (dist ed maybe then?)

but zomg they get super cool laptops with rotating-and-flattening-touch-screens-with-a-stylus-thing

would their teachers be related to Monash uni itself or just ordinary ones?

On a random note, I bet few years down the road, they'll have a specialised sports school hahaha

LOL these guys are down the road from me.
They've got stadiums and shit but severely lacking in the brains/teaching department

[Hutchoo]

MHS has an excellent sport cohort. Even for dumb ass 'jocks' they're pretty smart.

Do JMSS focus on and teach more of the sciences than say, the humanities and performing arts? In other words, do the students have to choose most of their VCE programme from science subjects? After all, it is a "science school".
