维州男孩上私校无论是奖学金还是排队比女孩都要难出一大截，这肯定是个事实。
只是恐怕这个现象不只是维州，澳洲很多地方都会有这个问题。主要原因还是女校要比男校多不少。一直很好奇背后的原因，记得看到过有个local分析过这个现象背后的历史原因，可以分享一下，大家看看说得在点上不。
You have to go back in history to a time when it was considered that girls' education was not that important.
In the state system at the end of primary school you used to have to sit an exam which determined where you sent to high school.
If you got an excellent grade you went to Melbourne High School (or equivalent schools at Geelong, Bendigo and Castlemaine). This was an option for girls.
However if you didn't get in your next option was a Technical College (formerly called Working Mens' Colleges), which weren't really an option for girls.
Many girls ended up leaving school at the end of primary school.
In this context a number of the girls' private schools you see around today were started either by Churches or by a woman or women who taught girls an academic education often given in their home.
So if you wind the clock back to the early 1900s boys' schools like Scotch and Melbourne Grammar were already well entrenched and teaching on their present day campuses, while an equally grand modern day girls' school like St Catherine's was at the time teaching a small number of girls in a house in various locations initially in the country and later in Toorak.
Some of these girls' schools ran into financial difficulties and went out of business, some amalgamated with boys' schools, and some managed to hang on to the present day.
What you see today is a small number of very wealthy boys' schools, and a larger number of often smaller, less wealthy girls' schools.
