We came back fm GC 3wks ago, nothing much at Sea World. Movie World is more fun for your kids.
Travelling on public transport is very convenient. You can pay cash for purchase GOcard and it is refundable for any balance value.

How old are your kids. Is movie world too kiddie for young teens.

My children are aged 13 & 14. We covered 3 worlds and they loved Movie World the best. They also like Paradise Country and Outback Spectacular..we paid adults @ kids price(on promotion)....just sharing =))

Opps.. not sure if too late to ask, where you get the 3 parks pass tickets online?

If you have time and intend to visit all three theme parks or even just 2 of the 3, it will be worth it.
Here is the link:

https://themeparks.com.au/box-office/vip-pass/vip-pass.aspx

I only have time to visit one so I bought a day pass to Sea World. If not, this VIP would be ideal.

What is the criteria for taking triple sciences in Y3s onwards? Do they restrict this option?

At least a GPA of 2.8 and above.....
Below that, students can only take 7 units, not 8 units subj.

So far no restriction for 3S, most of them could get into their choices.
Will be given 3 choices of subj combination.

Hi Augmum,
Do you think taking 7units is risky ? Some teachers seems to 'encourage' students to pick 7units even if they qualify for 8-9units. The reason being more time to focus and do well in the 7 units n enjoy school life ! Im just afraid there will be 'priority' given to 8-9units when they go to JC n selection of subjects again ...?? Would like to hear your advise.
Many Thanks!
