[Stormbreaker-X]

Anyone else here got advice they want to share?

[Ionic Doc]

Keep your head up high and most importantly prove your parents wrong! ( best feeling in the world, trust me)

So what if you didn't get in? Work hard again and come out successful, but don't give up and go into a negative state of mind cause that is really unhealthy for you and won't get you anywhere.

Good Luck

Also Congrats to everyone that got into Elizabeth Blackburn School of Science!

My parents are fed up... and yeah, I'm sure there is no chemistry teacher. My school requires a minimum of 5 students doing a subject for it to be taught and I'm the only one who wants to do spesh... I don't know what to do anymore... I can't do the subjects I want, I have no friends, and my parents think I'm a failure...

Well done for applying for EBSS. It takes guts and determination for each student to have even sat that entrance examination (no matter the outcome). 

Regarding your current situation, not all hope is lost! Perhaps you could apply for another school near you, that offers your preferred VCE subjects.
For example, what about Uni High? Even though their applications for VCE placement are considered very carefully by their enrolment committee, (and hence, no applicant is guaranteed a spot), I’m sure that your great enthusiasm and dedication to your school studies would impress them! Even if not at Uni high, at least at another school. I think you should give it a shot (especially because it sounds like your current school cannot offer you what you truly want and NEED, out of your high school education).
 
Anyhow, good luck with everything, and try to stay positive nonetheless

I'm pretty sure UHS only accept local students within a certain radius, but I completely agree with Yianna in terms of moving schools. I feel like staying in one school that doesn't enable you to pick the subjects you want will ultimately backfire. Moving schools can not only get you the 'subjects that you want', but furthermore can give you a fresh new start in terms of building your social relationships and expanding your friendship circles.

anyone applying for ebs this year??

I did think about but now I don’t think it’s worth it, after failing year 9 entry, there no point to be honest, just focus on vce, moving into a new school in year 11 is way too late.
