    Opinions? I think it's quite interesting. I haven't watched it yet.

    My Yearlies start tomorrow...nrggggg

    It was because he wrote stupid answers for some of the long responses. The answers weren't even funny. One of the answers (I can't remember from the top of my head but it was stupid and not really funny) about Christianity, he mentioned about the Wiggles and respecting our parents.

    Are you anticipating your Yr 11 report will be a motivator or affirmator?

    My school, on the assessment booklet, my year was suppose to start the HSC week 4, term 4, but somehow we commence the HSC in week 1 for all extension subjects and week 2 for other subjects. I was thinking it might be because we finished the prelim. course in most subjects. For us, we can't drop...

    Can you accelerate in Year 11?

    Yeah it does go towards your HSC. I know a year 9 who is doing Year 11 Japanese Continuers, same with two Year 10 girls who are doing Year 11 Polish & German Continuers. Also met a year 10 girl who is doing Business Studies and got into Art Extension at NAS that is for year 11s. It's possible...

    Dating your tutor

    Not saying that I dated my teacher. But a year or two back there were some situations where I got mixed thoughts. I know the teacher didn't think twice about it but some of the things that she did towards me (e.g hold hand etc) was awkward.

    Not being accepted into an extension course

    I think you do, just say whoever is in charge that you got over the bench mark for the extension course and you can obviously do the subject well. It happened to me last year. I wanted to do Advance and the two requirements was a high band 4 in the SC and 75% in the coursework mark in your...

    Are you anticipating your Yr 11 report will be a motivator or affirmator?

    I heard my Art teacher saying that her report of us is due sometime next week, so maybe I'll get it during the holidays.

    ATAR Aim & desired uni course

    I hope to get 80, if I get 90 or above, I will be stoked. Hoping to get into B Arts/Secondary Teaching, possibly majority Japanese, Art & Drama. Depending which university I want to go, it's like 1-4 points difference. E.G If I got into UWS (Penrith) for the course, it's about 3-4 points...

    Not being accepted into an extension course

    That's kind of like my school, I know for History Extension you have to get like 80% in your Yearlies for either Ancient or Modern. But seriously, talk to the Head of Department or Head of Curriculum about it and explain your problem.

    Year 12 Jersey/Jackets

    My school doesn't give the jerseys & jumpers (you have a choice between the two, the jumper is just a hoodie that has the school symbol, Year 12 2012 and then your name) until term 2-3 which is slightly stupid. But then again, if I make it to the 1st team for Hockey I get a Hockey Jumper.

    Roll Call: Class of 2012

    I'm Spiffy. Taking for the 2012 HSC is Standard English, Art, Drama, SORII & Japanese Continuers. I'm debating whether or not to do Extension Japanese. I would like to get 80 ATAR, if I get 90 or above, I'll be stoked. I need to study better. xD

    My Yearlies start tomorrow...nrggggg

    I got two exam results back. 70% in SORII which I am happy about cause I didn't study. But one stupid git in my class got 25%, he didn't try hard because he wants to drop the subject. If my teacher (the teacher is really nice) was one of those strict teachers, then the guy who got 25% would be...

    My Yearlies start tomorrow...nrggggg

    Teachers.

    The mark - ATAR mark to be a teacher. It's like 70-80 ATAR (depending on the university) to get into B Arts/Secondary Teacher.

    Teachers.

    Some teachers, I question, how they got the mark to BE a teacher. I remember a teacher who failed her HSC (I think it's a rumor but still) and she had my class last year, and when two smart students told her a meaning of a word, she looked it up on Google to see if they are correct because she...

    Japanese Continuers Prelim. Orals

    How did you find them and the exam? Especially for OHS students. Also, should I get scaled up or consideration due to my orals being crappy? The teacher was mumbling and most of the questions you pick up the first and last word of the sentence - it can be very broad. I emailed my teacher and...

    School Captains & Prefects

    At my school, everyone has a choice of becoming prefect and everyone chooses the house & school captains. Funny enough, one example of a person who got house captain, she parties, drinks, etc and she is popular got it. xD So yes, it tends to be a popularity contest either way.

    Board of studies 'All my own work'???

    I think some of my friends were in your place, I think around at that time they were going to France for about 3 months exchange and I think they did it at the start of Year 11. I know some of the international students went back to China when we did it but they had to do it as soon as they...

    How much study do you do per day in Yr 11?

    My school diary has like how much you need to do 'study' or homework. For Year 11 based on a 12 unit course it's about 2.5-3 hours per 2 unit subject and it's about 16 hours a week in total. For Year 12, per 2 unit based on a 12 unit course it's 3.5 hours which is about 21 hours a week in total.

    Teachers.

    I had an English teacher for two years (years 9 & 10) and she was so horrible. She gave us 5 minutes to do like an essay. This guy who was in my class, he is an idiot but majority of the time if he didnt do anything idiotic and just sat there doing his work he got sent out for nothing. When he...
