Hi i didn't apply for an award but one of my teachers told me shed been asked to nominate me for an award and its urgent because it closes soon, but she didnt tell me which award. As much as I hope it is, I'm pretty sure it's not the unsw aaa because I don't know if my school does it and I'm. Sure they wouldn't pick me . But my forte is academics I haven't done tht much community work just my fair share and I'm not an athlete or anything . So what could it be? I do maths English extension , economics, legal studies and SOR 1 and my ranks are all top 2 except advanced English where I am 6th.
Thanks!

I hope!! But I think there's someone they would choose over me, and when my dad contacted the principal she passed on the message to my dad that she had no idea about my award. And I thought principal must nominate aaa

the teacher nominates the student that wants to go the UNSW as well as an academic person. So it could very possibly be aaa :)

So does anyone know of an instance where some random teacher nominated a student not the principal since she said she has no knowledge of it?

Open today :p what other awards are given out at your school for academic excellence without having to apply?
Sounds like AAA, but I don't want to get your hopes up in case it's not. ANd haha, I know that, but I figured you might have your teacher's email or something to ask lol

Haha I'm not sure who to email and the careers adviser is quite unresponsive! Thank you, I hope it is
If I found out its another award and my school doesn't do the aaa should I ask them to nominate me? Mum said that would be very unhumble

Yes I actually do. This happened to my brother. His year advisor nominated him for aaa. All the principal does is sign the forms. He didn't even notice what he was signing it for. When I went back to ask about the scholarship, the principal had no idea what I was talking about. All he remember was signing something...

If your school doesn't do aaa, they probably can't nominate you anyway. But if they do, I reckon you should go for it. Unhumble or not you're outta there anyway : D

Yes lol ask the school. If they weren't planning on nominating someone its hardly 'unhumble' to ask. Worst case they say no and you are were you are now- you've got nothing to lose from asking.

That's amazing! COngrats! It's good because sometimes the person who gets it is not even considering UNSW. So I'm glad you did :)
Yay thanks :) unsw has been the dream for a while.. Now just have to focus on getting that 94.65 :D
