Edited sentence: apologies to teachers and ppl who work there but its the public opinion of tas.in general people from other schools tend to be way friendlier and cooler due to lack of elitist crap fed to them.it's a really elitist school and you are indoctrinated into believing that TAS is the greatest when in reality schools like Cairns High, St Mary's or Saints are at least equal to them or better.remember $6000 for a laptop and an education that about 4 other schools in Cairns can offer for less than half the price.yeah but every single other school in Cairns hates TAS with a passion and many many people leave TAS to go to other schools so take that into account when you are choosing TAS
