    I have a friend who grew up in Kariong (near Gosford) and travelled to Ravenswood in Gordon everyday for school. Not the most academically gifted, but the teaching got her a great TER so she was able to get into Law for uni, so she's a lawyer. At a normal school maybe she would have gotten in the 70's or 80's, but we can't say for sure.

    Lots of stories like that , then there's the flip side

    In my time out at lethbridge park , I remember one highly academically gifted student who ended up getting over 70 TER while attending the local ( non selective ) high school . Normally the best performing students at that school were lucky to get out of the 50's . If she'd attended PLC Pymble she would have probably got close to 100 .

    In 1996 one of my patients was a student in " the class we failed " . See below links . At that stage most kids in the area didn't go through to HSC so these kids were the high achievers .

    The Daily Telegraph (Australia) - Wikipedia - second on the list of controversies .

    The SMH has a kick at the Tele .
