In an environment that can often be not what you know but who you know... any tips on how to get my daughter into John Curtin?

I just discovered I've missed the application date for NEXT year by just a few weeks :( 15 March they closed :(

There are limited opps where we live and it really does appear to be who you know here rather than what you know.

She wants to get to WAAPA eventually.

Ideas?

You misunderstood me - I wasn't implyhing anybody got in because they knew somebody :)

I'm in an outer region so out of touch that I need to know people who know things and not just rely on what I read on a website - nothing can beat firsthand experience, referrals, testimonials and expert advice :)

I was not aware you had to apply for JC the year before or even that there was a cut off date - I just assumed as it was a government school it would be like any other government school... my bad luck for checking the website one week after the closing date for applications. We don't get JC ads in our local papers where I live - the only info I have found out about it is from visiting their website.

I was hoping someone might say, yes there is an appeal system or a waitlist system or something... you don't know if you don't ask :)
