the canteen ladies thing might just be my school, and i know they've redone the system since, but they got 10 then - equal to the maths and english departments. and thanks, i think, i'm still not sure what repping is, but it sounds nice. :tongue:

thats so unfair. we're doing 7 speeches and i hate the rhetoric. and its all human rights and stuff like that, which is much more interesting when its metaphorical in a novel or something. i dont think i'd like this unit with any texts though - i hate trying to put personal significance into...

I do this, but everyone I know considers me incredibly stupid, so I'm not sure it's the best criterion. I don't study or prepare, but I do make a lot of connections between facts, rather than leaving the chunks of information as separate in my mind. Also, I have a pretty good memory - not...

I'm preparing for my AmusA on cello... noone's really given me a defined ammount of practice i should be doing (in hours/minutes) for this exam, but i guess at least an hour. I seem to practice fairly erratically. Like, I hardly ever practice mondays, wednesdays, fridays or saturdays, but...

thanks. i think that should be okay, and everyone says my technique's good, so hopefully i'll not do too badly. i dont really expect to pass, but it would be nice... since i didnt know i was doing an exam this year until about a month or two ago, and my exam's soon, so i'm pretty ok with...

sorry to double-post, but if piano is the same as cello (and i'm sure it is, i've done a few exams in each) the bar hardly moves at all... well, it does in a way, but because you've done seven and learnt the stuff for eighth, it doesnt feel difficult. on a slightly different note, does...

no, i totally agree. i had the meanest examiner ever once, she gave me an A+ and nice comments, nicest lady in the world gave me a B and really nasty comments... its the same with adjuticators, and some schoolteachers. one i swore hated me, told my mum i was amazing and super-talented.

Our school's year ten curriculum doesn't line up with the actual syllabus, it covers most of year 11 to make it more interesting and next year less stressful. Which is great, it makes things way more fun, but I was wondering whether our trials will be based on what we've learned in class or what...

well, i used to love english. it was my favourite subject, because it was so satisfying and just made me happy for some inexplicible reason, but i skipped year 10 english (so did lots of my friends) and we all find that advanced is nowhere near as fun as english used to be. and we don't get that...

hey, this is probably an incredibly obvious question, and i feel incredibly stupid asking it, but what is 'in the wild'? I get that it's the name of the focus area, and the whole thing about how the focus area is 'humanity's relationship with nature, etc' but what does it mean when they say...

i've heard the same about biology, but we're studying it in year 10 now, and my its waaaay harder (for me, anyway) than physics and chem were. apparently, bio used to be really easy, but since theres been so much research recently, the syllabus has got really complicated. senior science is...

c is what 40% of students are supposed to be getting, its meant to go A=10%, B=20%, C = 40%, D=20%, E=10% apparently. so a c isnt really a negative result. if you did repeat, i personally would find it easier to change schools because otherwise the social side of things gets really...

i don't get home until around 8 or 8.30 on friday nights, but i often discuss something i'll write later with my mum while she drives me to my rehearsals... if i have to i sometimes do a bit while i watch tv after dinner, but only if i feel like it. a lot of fridays i read books that are...

i had to collect the votes once, and i've found it's best to be friendly and well known (by name, not just face) by ALL the teachers, not just the important ones, and the canteen ladies, because for some reason they get three votes (at my school anyway) and the staffrooms don't wait and discuss...

i'm only studying malouf, not wordsworth, but he was writing in the 70s, when land rights and people's spiritual connection with the land were contentious issues. and he had a really mixed cultural heritage, as well as being a first generation austrlian, so he was always very interested in the...

i guess its for the people who leave after year 10, so its really quite outdated, especially since they're raising the leaving age and everything... i've been excused from my SC exams just by telling the school ill be on holiday the days they're on (which is true, i wouldnt lie just to get out...

Does anyone else do a comparitive study of 'An Imaginary Life' by David Malouf and the film 'Nell'? I've found it really difficult to find any information on 'Nell' since noone else seems to study it, and we really don't have time to watch the film enough times to anylise it fully before the...

it is kinda heavy going the first time you read it, and I usually prefer books with dialogue, but after a second reading and some analysis I'm starting to really like it.

Our rubric said that the wild referred to humankind's relationship with the natural world, nature's influence on human behaviour and interaction, and that the quality and importance of humanity's relationship with the natural world, or the responses to the absence of this relationship and the...

i loved animal farm in year six, hated hating alison ashley in year 5 (but only because i'd already read it years before, and loved it back then) i liked one flew over the cuckoo's nest, too. the first time i read it i was a bit confused, but i read it again the next day and loooved it. at...
