    Not much actually, you just have to pass/get average marks in most of your exams/assessments.

    Help need to choose James Ruse or Sydney Boys high school

    Not only that, but those schools are also still great academically.

    is going tutoring discriminating and unfair?

    I'd agree with the financial aspect (as in the fact that some students may be able to go tutoring whereas others may not). And I do believe education should be free for everyone (which it is, if we consider all the public schools around). Where discrimination (maybe discrimination doesn't...

    is going tutoring discriminating and unfair?

    Education is something that should be the concern of a student’s parents. I don’t think a child should pay for their own tutoring. That could be too expensive (even if they have a job). I think parents should pay any education-related costs until the student successfully completes their HSC...

    Maths Mistakes

    For this you need to consider the nature of the mistake. Based on this, revise the relevant content, and then attempt multiple questions relevant to the area in which you made mistakes.

    The start of this thread is of course unacceptable. You're an administrator doing your job and you shouldn't be addressed in such a way. But its occurrence is extremely rare compared to SylviaB's (now seemingly normalised) insults. A number of users are complaining about this, not just myself...

    Of course freedom of speech should be allowed. It's just that there are some instances where it is no longer viewed as such.

    I understand the tolerance levels maybe be different, particularly in non-school forums. But would it really still be a valid debate/argument when insults are being thrown back and forth? I feel like it automatically loses it's authenticity and purpose. If people on both sides of the argument...

    Feedback

    I think you misunderstood what I was trying to point out. I am aware mods take an unbiased approach with respect to the subject matter. I was trying to point out the way in which arguments are being delivered, not the argument/opinion itself. There's a clear difference between one respectfully...

    Does BoS have a progressive rule/policy for repeated infractions? Because if a member still retains the same motive (SylviaB's the main example, but I'm also talking from a general perspective), despite receiving mulitple temporary warnings and bans, they will just continue to do what they're...

    Feedback

    I agree with the above. SylviaB, even when genuinely trying to argue any particular topic, can't avoid causing tension, whether it's through direct insults to other BoS users (particularly those who adopt the opposing side), or through the arguments themselves. I remember multiple threads...

    Is chess a sport?

    I can’t believe I didn’t see this before lol.

    Is chess a sport?

    Whether you consider it to be a sport is something, and chess being officially recognised as a sport is something else.

    Business reports

    If the question doesn't include something like "Recommend ways the business can improve" then yes, you could briefly do that. If it does, you'll probably need to do that in one of your body paragraphs.

    Business reports

    Business reports follow a pretty simple structure: - Introduction - Body - Conclusion Headings may be used in business reports to indicate what you're going to be talking about. Use information from the stimulus as well as from topic one content to answer the question. Your introduction...

    Should I drop Extension 2 maths?

    Probably drop Extension 2. Extension 1 still scales quite well and dropping Extension 2 means you will get more time to study for your other subjects, which should get you good marks in your other subjects, provided you study regularly and are up to date with content etc.
