That's odd. It isn't blocked at my school, and I'd hardly see the point of blocking a site which offers oh-so-many education resources. They've blocked pretty much everything else though and I have discerned that the only reason Bored Of Studies isn't blocked is because they don't know about it...

Yeah, definitely. In our Junior years the groups were more evident. But now certain cliques and peer groups have fused together. It is still noticeable, but not as distinct. If we were to actually group the people, it'd be: Asian girls Soccer guys Nerdy (but cool) guys Nerdy (but uncool) guys...

Dislike James Meehan High School, a few streets away from my school. Not that they have done anything bad to our school (Although I do suspect they were the culprits who vandalised and broke our windows about a year or two back) They also give the Macquarie Fields area a bad reputation. (And...

I read somewhere than when you feel stressed or just out of it, it's ideal to do a bit of exercise. Perhaps you can just chuck on your jogging shoes and go for a run? A nutritionally balanced diet also helps, and it has been proved that those who eat healthily on a regular basis are less...

But, research does show that 'smartness' is 50% nature, 50% nurture. This is the reason why some people can just pick up things faster than other people, and mostly likely the reason that there are accelerated schools and classes. But, I'll definitely agree that working hard, as well as working...

Macquarie Fields High School Ranked 108 as of 2007. Not certain whether 2008 Year 12's will bring our rankings up or down. (but we produced Dilip Raj in 2007, so what will we get in 2008?) No idea what UAI our Dux got either.

And then perhaps it should be divided into Local, National and International sections? Maybe that'd be too nitpicky. :mad1: Just my 2 cents.

Re: 回复: Re: 回复: Re: Feelings towards year 12 That's just an assumption from a single basis point and does not necessarily mean that everyone who does crap in Preliminary will do well in the HSC. You've got to spice up your Inductive Logical reasoning skills. :) And then you've got the people...

Anyone know what sites I can go to in order to find out my school's ranking?

I use the same technique to study for Mathematics as I do for Economics (both 2U/3U), but also make flashcards from 'memory jogger' perforated cards included in the back of the notebook I purchase. I stick these in the bathroom (I actually look at them during showers and when I'm on the loo...

I always write notes by hand. I buy separate 5 section divided notebook for each Subject I do, and use the dividers to separate topics for each Subject. This works especially well for subjects such as Economics, where the syllabus can be easily used as a guideline as to what to study or take...

Aren't you just restricting yourself by doing that? The goal is to aim high, but realistically high.

Well, yes. I believe everyone secretly does lol. Advanced English - Top 5 Extension English - Top 8 Mathematics 2U - Top 10 - 20 Mathematics 3U - Top 20 Economics - Top 1/2 Japanese - 1 Society & Culture - Top 1/2/3

I'm dropping Ancient History so I get some study periods to focus on other subjects.

Studying for English and Mathematics, and maybe Economics. Completing Ancient History, Extension English and Advanced English Assessments. Japanese, Society & Culture as well as Ancient History H/W. Visiting the State Library of NSW (for Extension English Assessment) Meeting up with a few...

Wow. Call me naive (or ignorant, or plain stupid), but I was actually surprised that nearly 25% of people (who voted), do not support LGBT relationships. It's probably because I'm living in a school environment where LGBT people are accepted (at least by 99.8% of the school population) and when...

Re: Public School vs. Private I agree that having good facilities means greater access to information and as a result, potential to produce smarter students etc. However, I strongly disagree with the notion that Public School teachers are 'lazy'. From personal experience I have found my...

I thought of Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes. I've recently seen the 2003 film adaptation and it's quite good and yes, the main character leaves everything behind her. I won't say too much in case you do decide to read/watch it.

Student A: Is chlorine a metal? Teacher: No. Student A: (...) Then, is chlorine a non-metal? :mad1: My mathematics teacher has the habit of taking things off desks and making disgusted looks whilst walking around the look. In place of a standard "Hi!", he's taken to the habit of giving us...

1. (annoyed) Such a BMW (Big Mouthed Woman) 2. Do you want to join the SRC? (Student Rubbish Collector) 3. Shut up! 4. Aoiye, quieet. 5. Killing people is fun. (in reference to GTA) 6. Mario is the best! Compliments of my Mathematics teacher. :)
