I don't think that's necessarily a good thing though.

The Prestige, I reckon it's Nolan's best film ngl. It's a clever concept and the acting is amazing.

Silo's also good.

Same, honestly feel so sorry for everyone in 2027 onwards. Some of my cousins who are sitting their HSCs next year are pissed about the changes too, but they feel lucky they'll be the last cohorts with the decent syllabus.

Which one?

I apologise for my targeted retaliation.

Some Shakespeare texts are more sophisticated than others, and you misquoted me. I said too basic for Year 12, it is more appropriate as a Year 11 or 10 text. Also, Orwell wrote specifically about communism, which is a leftist ideology (you can look it up yourself), which leads to...

100%. I didn't wanna say it but you're right, they have dumbed down the prescribed texts slightly. I get the rationale too, but ironically, the rejigging of the syllabus just proves Orwell's points on dumbing down language and hence dumbing down the quality of people's thoughts in my opinion.

Agree with this too. They're making Advanced more like Standard in that regard 😢

Slow Horses

I agree with all your points. Moving Othello to Year 12 is dumb since I think it's too basic for Year 12 study. I'm also annoyed that they removed 1984 from the syllabus because it's an essential text that makes crucial points on the dangers of totalitarianism and how it subverts the truth...

Sorry if I'm late to the party, but did you all hear about the syllabus changes for English? They're scrapping a whole bunch of texts from 2027, some of those including 1984, T.S Eliot's poetry, The Crucible, Frankenstein, Seamus Heaney's poetry, The Merchant of Venice etc. I'm bringing this...

A lot of teachers at my school directed us to BoS lol (that was two years ago though so maybe things have changed)

As many people have said on here, social media's only really good for communicating with friends (but even then I'd prefer to see them in person). Doom scrolling on Instragram, Facebook etc has screwed up a lot of people's eye health, and the time wasted scrolling amounts to precious time...

Exactly. Once it's over you move on.

Well was it a hard paper? I know Extension 1 is already difficult but if it was harder than it should have been then that would explain it.

Outrageous. I got out of school at the right time.

Just read through these, enraged about them removing projectile motion from EE1. I enjoyed that topic so much and it helped the projectile motion content in Physics make sense.

You going to see Thom Yorke perform live??
