hihi I mean that's up to you. Lots of people at jmss live far away but still come to this school because they believe it's worth the travel. Obviously some people are going to do bad since not everyone studies a lot, doesn't mean the school itself is necessarily bad/not worth it. Altho if you're doing IB then that might be more of a reason not to join the school. Idk much about IB, but I think given that you're in year 10 next year, you have plenty of time to adjust. Unless you plan to study overseas, swapping to vce should be fine.
