Even if i could go to scoth i would still go to geelong, would have loved to do IB
Personally I think IB is stupid, only really useful if you want to get into Oxford, Harvard or any top tier Universities.

Mine was 24 least year, and 22 the year before ;)
But I don't mind... I don't actually think I'd change schools if give the chance. I'd like to think that going to my school has built up some resilience haha

Dream School?
Melbourne High Co-ed
Quite a upgrade from Elwood. I like the idea though, and in fact Melbourne High started off Co-Ed. (random fact)

The reason I wouldn't change my school. If I went to MHS from 2009, I can say with near-certainty I would have scored much higher. I also would be a ridiculously different person and not know my girlfriend or best friend.

I wouldn't change my current school. But I think doing IB would've been neat.

i think choosing high schools depends alot on "fit" not just how awesome the campus is
when my old school got into financial trouble and was going to shut down and my parents seriously looked at geelong grammar but the students/teachers there didnt suit, idk, i didnt want to go boarding school, in the end i picked schs over mhs because i wanted to do chinese but decided to stay rather than leave/go for year 10 entry to mhs because i like the atmosphere here, the pretty chilled but serious attitude, but professional teachers, and soooooooooo many extra curricular activites and days off (LOL), and because its the foundation cohort we have so much freedom to start any clubs or anything we want and the academic freedom
tbh couldnt think of a better place (i do miss doing the IB MYP program though, IB is awesome)

just my 2 cents

I think the title of this thread should be changed to "Dream School in Victoria", perhaps?  Because Geelong isn't technically in Melbourne.  Or maybe even "Dream School in Australia"?
