Thoughts on Thomas's College Richmond - those with offers and those at the primaries!

Interested to hear from anyone who is currently at Thomas's for primary and if they have any info on the College in Richmond and how many are seriously considering it for Year 7?

Also interested in thoughts of those with offers and whether you are seriously considering it. Has anyone's child been awarded a Founders Scholarship and if so, are you seriously considering it?

Thank you!

We have a founding scholarship offer too and would love to know more about it. I wonder how academic it will be for example?

Do you know people that didn't get through to interview? Everyone I know that sat for it at our prep (which was a decent amount) got through to interview stage, so am surprised to hear this.

Yes I do, from primaries in Sheen and Richmond

Had offers from Thomas’s and KGS.
Really liked the vibe at Thomas’s but think it’s too expensive, esp with fee increase in April. Don’t know anyone who got a founding scholarship. I’d love to know what the success rate was for that!

I heard that quite a lot didn't make it through to interview. I get the impression they're positioning it as quite an academic school.

We have an offer, are seriously considering it, but finding it difficult to get opinions on the place / Thomas's in general. Do you have other offers? I'm interested to hear where else ppl have offers from to try and gauge the level at which Thomas's college have offered.
