Penrith High School

Decent selective school with lots of amenities like westpoint and McDonald’s near by. But really bad in terms of travelling…compared to a student in a local school, you get two less hours to study each day which can amount to almost 400 less hours of study in a year which can impact your performance against the state. Additionally, the physics faculty is very very poor with only chemistry, math and PE racking high scores in the hsc. Additionally, the school had a very bad focus on extra curriculars. Extra activites are just as important as your hsc but this school has little to no input support or funding for big competitions. Also, the schools peer community has a bad habit of a ‘don’t try hard’ mentality which is even seen in younger grades causing a poor overall grade performance
