    Selective school

    I've never switched schools, but I think you should probably expect something like the primary to high school transition, albeit to a lesser degree. From simple observations, all the new kids seem to more or less blend in fairly well. If you got accepted into the same school I attend, there...

    Tony Abbott

    Re: Tony Abott Clearly the majority of the public doesn't feel this way. Gotta feel for the guy ahaha.

    Discovery Paper Sharing (already 15 papers!)

    Could you post up the link? :) :) There are some schools (like mine) who only give us our marked responses back and we don't see the question ever again, which puts me in a bit of a pickle ahaha. If you do, from your perspective you don't really have anything to lose considering you said that...

    Need advice for Multiple Choice!!

    Also heard this advice from teacher. Go with your initial instinct unless you're 100% or almost 100% sure it's wrong. Then change it. I believe this advice was meant to target people who tend to overthink (which is a huge problem in my cohort) because it is possible to justify/ convince...

    Year 12 Jackets 2016 - Any name ideas?

    One of my friends did: " \frac{1}{cos(c)}." Not sure if she included an "I'm"/"Yo"/a pronoun in front haha

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    Hahaha I always end up writing my conclusion before I finish my last body paragraph, just in case I don't finish (usually 5 minutes before pens down). Although my conclusions are usually 3-4 sentences long (albeit unrefined since I don't do prepared essays)

    I reckon it's fine if you do it well (top-notch standard), but markers will probably be less inclined to award you full marks for it. Just because it's playing a bit with the grey area (like when you use a 4u technique for 3u maths. Acceptable, but nonetheless slightly dodgy) Having said this...

    "The selective school that has abolished exams. Yes, really"

    "But they are under siege from the old hippies of the education establishment, academics and sections of the media..." Not sure if hippies was the best word to use. LOL.

    How do you apply interstate?

    I'm kinda semi-aware there's other UAC like organisations in different states. Would be great if somebody could elaborate, and if you ceebs, link me somewhere where someone else has explained it haha (I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it) Not sure if this is the...

    Guys, how do you apply interstate? Would be appreciated if you could link me to an indepth guide.

    I hope you're joking. You can seriously damage said limb if you do it incorrectly (unless its your knee or some other auto-popper).

    James Ruse trials

    Same. Also lost marks for drawing the triangle thing instead of writing it out and lost marks for forgetting to say which parallel lines. But c'mon. If angle X = angle Y because of something stupid like being alternate angles, there's only one parallel line it can occur on. FFF what is it with...

    So what happens after trials?

    Yooo, do you know if there's any point in receiving the PIN so early? Is it useless till the 5th Aug ?

    How big is your economics class?

    10-12 but cohort has 3 classes in total ahaha

    So what happens after trials?

    Same, no idea what to do with it though. Can somebody please explain what we should do for UAC? Also- we were given our PIN but still no idea what my UAC number is. It's got one more digit than the BOS student number, so that can't be it... halp

    Indicator HELP!!!!!

    ^ As the responses above have said, HSC indicators are weak acids. To illustrate their colour change though, we can use the following general equation: HA_{(aq)} + H_2O_{(aq)} <-> H_3O^+_{(aq)} + A^-_{(aq)} (given that acids by the Bronsted-Lowry definition are proton (hydrogen) donors)...
