No, you will break your TV if you dismantle it. Some people can actually reassemble things too. Why is measuring the flight of a ball interesting to you? I hope you were at least vaguely amused by magnetic levitation.

Exactly what air of elitism do you want in your campus? The kind of elitism that we had, where only the rich and the extremely lucky even had the chance to apply? Or the kind that has never existed in Australia, where only the very bright may enter?

Stress is part of the universal experience of students, if you feel no stress during a major examination period there is probably something biologically or psychologically wrong with you. Up to a point anxiety can even boost performance. However it can also be a devastating and debilitating...

Re: Something that made you say "my parents are so naive" I've had to explain the aligning and scaling of marks to my parents again and again. For the past four years. My dad took until this week to realise that he hasn't seen any of my raw marks in any subject since we got to Australia. My...

I have spent the last six months waiting for the HSC to be over so that I can begin learning again.

Private swimming pools should be banned. Very few are supervised by trained lifeguards, making fatal accidents far more likely than in a public, supervised pool. They also waste large amounts of (drinking quality) water. Guns should be restricted to those who absolutely require them, such as...

Also, the titles and main plot of the series come from Shakespeare's "The Tempest".

Or maybe pie charts showing the percentage following each religion/non-religion.

That's fine with me too. I have no super and no-one in my family plans on retiring within the next couple of decades, that should be quite long enough for nation-building projects to pay for themselves (through the improved efficiency of ports, etc).

I'm using the film "The Darjeeling Limited" as my main supplementary, and I'll decide which of my other prepared texts (one of my assessment tasks involved finding and analysing a variety of texts for a portfolio). Sorry, got nothing on Castaway.

Thank you so much!

I'm going on a year long exchange program next year in Switzerland with Rotary, but I still plan on applying then.
