For a seventh-grade girl in Brisbane, who is neither exceptionally gifted nor extremely competitive but still eager to study hard and prepare for high school in the U.S., which school would be the best fit? If you have insights or recommendations, please share your wisdom [praying hands emoji][praying hands emoji]
I can see why these two schools are tough to choose between—each has its own strengths. St Aidan’s might offer more of a supportive community feel, while Brisbane State High could provide a broader range of extracurriculars. Either way, it sounds like a lot depends on what specific opportunities matter most for her future goals. Have you considered visiting both campuses with her to get a sense of the vibe?
Absolutely, visiting both campuses could be incredibly helpful! It’s true that the right fit often comes down to which vibe aligns best with her personality and goals. Both schools have unique offerings, so experiencing them firsthand might make the decision clearer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—it’s a great reminder to trust her instincts too!
