Although wearing uniform is painful (especially the blazer in summer ) .  EBBS is a selective school  wearing casual clothes make people perceive it as "inferior ". Even in America where there's no uniform in schools , selective school still wear uniforms their . I know im getting off topic here , but im just saying .

I beg to differ.

Mac.Rob allows their Year 12's to wear free dress for most of the year. No one sees them as an inferior bunch, rather they're still (usually) the toppers in the state.

Also, odd to have a blazer in the summer uniform. At MHS the blazer was not in the summer uniform and only had to be worn for events and assemblies.

there will be diverse contrast from starting vce or continuing it for some people , at a completely different school.

This is definitely true, even at JMSS. You have to adjust to a whole new team of teachers, new school protocols, new students and an entirely new physical environment - that includes figuring out transport to and from school, and figuring out where things are within the actual school. Speaking as someone who's done this, it's not that conducive to learning, especially if you're doing a 3/4 in that same year.
Didn't somebody say EBSS is 7 - 12?

What's wrong? I find that you belong more when wearing school uniform (and JMSS uniform isn't even that bad LOL it's actually pretty good although the blazer as pi has mentioned on a number of times from memory LOL)

Our uniform is gorgeous but

Nah , EBSS starts in year 11 , but they have a school next door that starts in year 7 .

I guess kids who get accepted into John Monash in year 11 feel the same way

Haha I guess maybe I went to a school where uniform was 'unappreciated' so I've just taken a liking towards JMSS' LOL

[LastOfUs]

Don't know why you guys are complaining about uniform.

The year before I went to my school they wore attire like this.

Does everyone from UHS , go to EBSS , i don't get how it works ?
And i read in The Age somewhere that there building a school at Latrobe . Now they've got schools at monash (JMSS and Nossal) , Victoria University (Suzanne cory) and Melbourne University (EBSS),and soon one at Latrobe .

No not everyone from UHS goes to EBSS. People from outside of UHS can apply for EBSS and get accepted (I have two friends going there next year plus there's not enough space to fit all kids from UHS into EBSS [apparently the building of EBSS is in UHS' old car park]).
It's just like any real selective school test except they test on different things compared to JMSS (if I recall what my friend said, they said that there were more English components compared to JMSS since they were entering Year 11).

I doubt it given the car-park was underground beneath the oval and was used by the Royal Melbourne Hospital

So its essentially an advance class for U.H.S kids , sorry im just curious .

UHS already have an Accelerated Program that ends in yr10, this would be an ideal transition for many of those kids who want to pursue the "Asian 5" subjects in VCE, as well as for others with a similar line of subject selections.

[winchesteraddict]

Anyone applying for admissions in 2015?

I'm sure it was a carpark but it wouldn't have been the only one
