hihi I mean tbf compared to other schools, jmss gives a decent amount of spaces for year 11, even though it's not the same amount as for year 10 entry. Unless you're going for med or something, there's no reason to be full sweating vce. It's definitely not as crazy as people make it out to be, especially not to the point where you have to start studying early. You shouldn't let vce discourage you from trying out for a selective school. Vce isn't the only thing you get out of school as well. Lots of people try out for shs because they want to be in a better community. I don't think you should sacrifice that and many other opportunities just because you think you're gonna get cooked for vce. I'd only worry about vce to that extent if you're doing really bad in school or need to get a super high atar like 99+ for med.
