Re: Did anybody else's school make the wrong decision about the trials?
yeah, not only the underage year 12s were drinking, but they were giving it to the 11 year old year 7s.
it seems like a "coming of age" thing but the pushy parents/principal don't seem to agree haha
Re: Did anybody else's school make the wrong decision about the trials?
My old school was so religious they actually said "a year 10 formal isn't a very christian thing, instead we're going to have an achievement ceremony (with parents and compulsory school uniform)".
Very glad I got out of...
That's quite humanitarian of you ^^
Oh, and why commerce, instead of say, arts?
I myself am interested in Comm/Eco (which means no sandstone USYD for me).
I think eco + finance will end up my bread and butter (despite the fact i'll have to sell my soul to make it in iBanking xD)
English (Advanced): AOS, Module A.
MX1: About half.
MX2: "Only" mechanics, integration, volumes, graphs, half of conics to go.
Physics: Most of the first two (a bit of M&G to go).
Economics: First two and external stability (I'll finish the course by the end of the holidays).
One of my friends transferred from a REALLY low-ranked school at the end of year 11 for year 12.
That said, I can't really give you even a vague figure of your chances...
MX1 and MX2 were worth 30%!
Then again we only have 4 maths assessments but trials are still worth 40% >_>
I wish they'd just do a 25/25/25/25 split or something.
Then again, how unlikely...
It's probably intimidation. My guess is people are still bitter from year 6 rejections and are trying to justify themselves, rather than building a bridge. After all, entry is the outcome of a year 6 test, not genetic makeup or anything.
I'll get off my high horse now... :)
Hopefully:
Catch up on the last 10 weeks of sleep deprivation (1st priority)
Finish conics
Finish the syllabus for phys/eco
Write my Rostrum speech
Currently, I've been in this cycle of sleeping 12 hours, awake for 12 hours...
It's great :)
