A! Hey, I'm going to Macrob next year and I was wondering whether we had to buy our own laptops? Please let me know asap!

  • Tas and A! replied to this.

      Another thing: is the school pretty? ik this is kinda weird to ask but most public schools i've seen are pretty filthy and idk about selective schools... also i've heard the school buildings are very old

        that's cool thanks everyone. but still wondering about the sports since I do 2 sports that require like 3ish sessions each and I don't wanna quit them. I have no problem moving clubs but I just wanna keep active. so like the kids who go to selectives/have siblings can they say how kids in selective manage to still play and maintain fitness? I realllllly wanna go cause I love studying and I love the competitive environment but my parents don't want me too cause I would have to possibly quit sport 🙁 help me find reasons to convince them to let me go!

          What sport are offered in Mac rob?
          Can you pick any language for VCE or are there only certain languages or subjects?
          What time does hmr start?

            Anonymous_101 i have no clue if its the same for every sehs but they only offer indo, jap, french, and german. for every skl im pretty sure u can do any language, BUT u have to do 'vsl' which is external. and i've heard that in order to compensate u have to take extra subjects in vce to meet the minimum. for example, if you want to do english, methods, accoutning, and mandarin, u'd have to do mandarin externally, and so you'd have to take on another subject at macrob to compensate. but this is what ive heard from past forums so i'm not 100% sure

                aru hi so I didn't get in first round, but I do know lots of people who have been to the school and are in the school. basically they are really big on sport and extracurricular activities. As quoted by the parent of a macrob kid, "you name any sport and macrob and mhs are state toppers in it." i believe there's lots of clubs to choose from, so i don't think you should have any trouble maintaining physical fitness. hope this helps

                    Hello girls, I appeared for year 10 entry test this year.
                    I got a reply last week that school is going to interview first 20 students. As per them I am not in the list of first 20 students.
                    Do anyone know what are my chances of receiving a second round offer?
                    I got:
                    Verbal Reasoning: Above Average
                    Numerical Reasoning: High Average
                    Reading Comprehension: Above Average
                    Mathematics: Superior
                    Written Expression: Above Average

                    not that im a girl but i did manage to get in a sehs, i would say you do have a good chance but with such low spots available it may or may not suffice. Perhaps if 1 of ur above's were swapped with a sup you would have a higher chance or if ur high was an above again a higher chance but for now don't lose hope and i would say that you could get in but not guaranteed
