For James Ruse, I suggest you send your child to the coaching colleges to prepare, North Shore, James An and Matrix are good choices. I don't think I know anyone who DIDN'T go to coaching colleges and went to James Ruse. My tutor studied at James Ruse, he tutored me for 5 years, it's a WHOLE LOT of studying in that school. This school doesn't offer a very Australian schooling, it's just asians, asians, asians and more academics. But of course you get top grades at the end because of competition, abundance resources and the cohort of students who all share similar academic goals.

Macquarie and UNSW actuarial studies is well known. I know a few family friend who chose Macquarie over UNSW though.
For Macquarie - you need a ATAR of 97.1 - which means 24 for DSE. but for specific details go here - go here http://courses.mq.edu.au/undergr ... f-actuarial-studies and http://www.mq.edu.au/study/inter ... ademic-requirements

For UNSW - you need a ATAR of 93 go to this page - http://www.international.unsw.ed ... entry_table_4-7.pdf and https://www.business.unsw.edu.au ... #Entry-requirements


Also a local forum that compared Macquarie vs UNSW - http://community.boredofstudies. ... actuarial-poll.html

I agree, many families work very hard and dedicate a large amount of their salary to send their child to private schools. The top private schools in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, and even the smaller cities all demand tuition fees of 20k or more annually. Snobbery is probably not the right descriptionI suppose; however the students exudes a higher level of confidence, perhaps knowing that the network of people they end up being around assists them in their lives. That being said, I also had very normal/ down to earth friends and of course the more spoilt snobby ones. The thing about my school was, it wasn't mixed culturally, people stick to their cliques ALOT, which is why I chose the word "snobbery" to describe the overall vibe of the school.

Epping boys vs Carlingford High, I am unsure of the difference except one is co-ed and the other one is single sex. Both are well known and are good public high schools. Perhaps send the kids to the school which your child has more friends to and one that develops the student both in music, sports and academics. In the end of th day, if the child can find their dreams and passions by having great teachers around them, they are more likely to excel in life. It is about lifelong learning really. Btw, both of these schools have a high proportion of asian students because of its academic performance so neither will perform poorly.
