    Youth finance website

    I would probably. I'm fed up of trawling through government websites. Finding out things on Centrelink is the worst. Good luck.

    Enduring Looking for Richard...

    Does anyone else suffering through Richard III/Looking for Richard have any insight to offer? I have absolutely no idea how to do decent preparation on it, much less how to write even a basic 'connections enriching our understanding of the original' essay at a high band level. And it doesn't...

    Your Top/worst Subject?

    Best - Latin (99% for last assessment) Worst - French (87% for listening). It feels like Chem is, even though I got full marks for the last task. And trust me, French is going in the downward direction. On consideration, Latin is probably too - we've learnt so much new grammar this term that...

    Preliminary term 1 asses (help!) - We have to write an article...

    ...and it said to reference sources 'in the journalistic style' (it's not the task that's the problem, just the referencing). I have no idea what the 'journalistic style' is and they haven't mentioned anything about it in class. Moreover, it's due tomorrow. So what would I do if I used say, a...

    The movie Pleasantville is a really good one for Changing Self. We were doing it last term.

    Any Latin students out there?

    I have no idea how we would go as deponents. We're going as Neoterics now, apparently. Really? I heard you were going. My intelligence must be bad. (girls' school rumour mill :K) Our teacher writes her own textbooks, which is really good for the poems/analysis. But we don't have one for...

    Competition - low or high?

    I got beaten in Ancient History by people who rarely used to get above 80%... I got 23/25, they (more than 1) got 24. And, what's more, I've gone from being about the first person to finish assessment tasks and everyone saying 'Oh my god how can you have finished that already?' to 'Oh, I've...

    We haven't got any assessments back yet, really :( But I'd guess... Worst: Chemistry, English, Latin or French Best: Ancient History

    Any Latin students out there?

    I never seem to see any topics about Latin. So, how's everybody (anybody) finding it in Year 11? Much different from Year 10? What textbook does everyone use? What are you studying? What tips and tricks have you picked up from the senior course so far? (a million questions, heh). I'm finding...

    Teacher's effort V Student's effort

    Although often students can have the best teachers and be no better off unless they put in effort themselves, a good teacher can make all the difference. I;ve had first-hand experience of bad teaching in Year 10 and the impact it had on my marks and performance, no matter how hard I tried - I...

    Are you a maths or english person?

    I'm more an English person, but I'm not bad at Maths - just don't understand it most of the time. (so dropping it) However, my English mark was my lowest and was lower than maths. :P

    Trials or SC

    I had mixed result. I thought trial Maths, History & Geography were easier, but trial English & Science were harder than the SC. English Trial: 77 SC: 91 Maths Trial: 92 SC: 92 Science Trial: 92 SC: 93 History Trial: 98 SC: 96 Geography Trial: 90 SC: 95 So much of them around the same. -shrugs-

Not as good as my school results - but...
