    Ha – I read that as “***failing*** in line with rest of Australia”

    SA’er here and this is the first ive ever heard of there being middle schools in Australia.

  3. I hated middle school in Darwin and I always thought the NT was the least appropriate place to have it. The school dropout rates are quite high so at 7-9 campuses a lot of the oldest kids didn’t wanna be there but still had to as opposed to having a 7-12 campus where the Year 12s were all committed and could provide a good example.
