    School doesn't tell us what our rankings are??

    Over this whole year my none of my subject reports and only one of my assessments have been returned with a ranking. Two teachers told their classes in person around half yearlies. I know that rankings 'don't count' in Y11, but it would be nice to be told where I'm at in my courses. I always...

    Urgent: Entire HSC through Distance Education?? Yes or No

    Hi :smile: I'm just about to finish Year 11. My family lives overseas, in Term 3 last year I moved back to Aus, coming back to old friends and escaping the IB diploma :blink2: (it is a bit more complicated then that).

    Does Business Studies get better??

    I don't mind Business Studies, got 85% in my first assessment which wasn't too bad, however am finding the content a bit dry. I chose it as I felt I needed an easier subject and I can't drop it as I want to drop Art, but does it get better/more interesting in Year 12?? :cool: Thanks

    Y11 Holiday Work.. How important??

    Hi, my school has set quite a large amount of Holiday Work, as expected for senior study (Reading a whole Shakespeare play, a whole topic worth of Keep It Simple notes for science.. etc). So far I haven't felt motivated to get much done, partly because I'm thinking the teachers won't even check...
