New school: Elizabeth Blackburn School of Sciences

[pi]

My understanding was that UHS starts at yr7 (goes to yr12), and this school is literally next-door and starts from yr11?

Makes sense as the UHS accelerated program finishes in yr10, good transition etc etc

[spectroscopy]

it says intake of 100 year 11 and 100 yr 12 students, does that mean they'll take in 100 students in year 12 and the cohort will end up being ~200

[pi]

I think it means each year will have 100 students

This is embarrassing but, I didn't even know about this school until you just posted it and I GO TO UNI HIGH LOL

Off topic: But pi when did you leave uni high to move to melbourne high?

Haha!

I was in the accelerated program for yr7-8 and moved to MHS for yr9 (so left at the end of 2007) Pretty awesome place and two years I'll never forget! So many great memories of that place

Only thing I couldn't stand was both Latin and German in yr8 haha, so bad

Damn, I wouldn't know you anyway since I only started in 2008.

Yeah, quite a good school. Do you still keep in touch with people that used to go there?

[pi]

A few people. Most are sadly just acquaintances who I might speak to on fb chat every now and again though (as they're nearly all one year above me in uni due to the AP program skipping a year). A couple are in my year of med which is cool (one of which moved to Mac.Rob in 2007 too haha).

I was actually talking to one a couple of days ago and reminiscing about the good old days (gosh, that makes me sound so damn old)

[awesomejames]

HAHA sorry to remind you

MUAHAHAHAHA I'm such a stalker, I see that we have one mutual friend on facebook

[walkec]

I think I want a friggen select school for humanities students! LOL

Agreed! Except I do love my current school :p

Is it exclusively for Uni High students?

Is it exclusively for Uni High students?

I think so

[pi]

I think so

Really? I got the impression that it was for anyone who could pass the test, it's just that UHS has "control" over it (as it is next to the school)?

[Special At Specialist]

I don't understand why there is something called "University High School". Is it meant to be a high school or a university?

[mark_alec]

It is next to what was the only university in the state at the time.
