Sidicious-Reign · 30 Oct 2009, 9:09 PM

but in all seriousness, why is it you get in trouble for studying?

imsopostmodern · 30 Oct 2009, 9:10 PM

to get a scholarship, you usually need to demonstrate outstanding achievement in either academia or perhaps a sporting field. do you have a boarding school in mind? you could try contacting them and seeing if they have anything available for someone in your position

aussienerd · 30 Oct 2009, 9:12 PM

thats beside the point i just want to study more

aussienerd · 30 Oct 2009, 9:13 PM

i think i can do it... what boarding schools are there?

Revelrous · 30 Oct 2009, 9:14 PM

what the hell are you on about honestly?
'none of the patients' ? wtf you live in a mental institution?

imsopostmodern · 30 Oct 2009, 9:15 PM

i'm not sure. you'll have to do some research yourself for that one. internet is good for that kind of thing though

Sidicious-Reign · 30 Oct 2009, 9:16 PM

what are you suggesting? ive been in fucking hell holes for 2 years now you dont know what its like. im doing school via pathways and they're letting me go back to normal life next year... its all i have to look forward to and when im back home again i'll just be getting in trouble for studying too much

annabackwards · 30 Oct 2009, 9:31 PM

Is there a library you can perhaps study in?

Sidicious-Reign · 30 Oct 2009, 9:33 PM

Boarding Schools Sydney Australia - BoardingSchools.com.au

Have a look through some of these. Some may have scholarships that are for those from troubled backgrounds etc.

Some schools have equity type scholarships and such, maybe look into some of those. You're aiming to get pretty high so make sure that you look into things such as EAS which can help give you a bit of help, it seems like you deserve it. As far as what school to apply for, IMO apply for all of them, if you only apply to one or two your chances are a lot less.
Also, you need to determine if a change of environment will negatively affect your motivation which you clearly have lots of. I changed schools for similar reasons to you and found that I hated my new school and found it really hard to do my work because I couldn't be bothered.
Why not try looking up Chemistry notes on a site like csu.hsconline.edu.au, I basically taught myself HSC chem from here. It's great and can really explain topics. Don't forget that if you get stuck, you can post up here and we'll give answering a go. There's some pretty cluey people about.
In the end however it's up to you. If you're motivated and driven (which you seem to be) you'll get there, just don't be too proud to accept a helping hand when it's offered.
As far as goal setting goes, you seem to have a big goal in mind but at times big far away goals can be a bit hard to help sustain you're drive and motivation. Instead, keep your big goal but break it down into little bits. Aim to understand a topic or complete a practise essay on the weekend, try to break it down into little bits which are so much more manageable to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Good luck!
