Honestly, it's not really about grades. It's about networks and connections. As I said before when I was telling Solopop not to worry about Year 12 that much, it really doesn't matter what you get, because you can honestly do a bridging course into every university degree there is, or wait 3 years until you're 21 and you can apply as a mature-aged student.
What you'll find out (and very quickly I might add) upon entering the real world is that it's not just about what you know. It's about who you know. And who you know is way more important than what you know. Rich kids all have successful parents in high places who can hook them up with jobs in the country/world's best companies. Their parents and family friends help them get jobs in high places, and they help each other get jobs in high places.
Honestly, that's the best thing about private schools. Not facilities. Not teachers. Not technology. Not lesson plans. Not results. But the networks you make with your peers that last long after you leave. On top of that, there's a camaraderie and brotherhood/sisterhood between the people who went to those private schools. Even if you weren't in the same grade, or were never at the school at the same time, there's still a kinship there. People will be like "oh you went to **********? Did you know ***** *****? She went to *******!"
