.Wow, your friend's such a smartie! I wish I could get that mark.kami said:She did it all in one year, and yes she was repeating as she had had health issues which barred her from attermpting mid-yearlies onward at school. She had a full time job at the time as well.(woooh go Janelle!)
And there is no scaling down or up regarding TAFE - what *does* matter is how your class performs as a group and how you perform within that class. And of course the final exam.
And Kogarah TAFE doesn't have a HSC program but some of the ones relatively near you that you might be interested in are Gymea, Bankstown and Randwick or alternatively OTEN via correspondence.
Correction: You can't study tertiary courses while deferring- HSC is a secondary course not a tertiary one.Tuna said:
Well the thing with TAFE is, is that there is no solid trend in performance because everyone is from a different background as opposed to being there since year 7, so you might get a couple of people like Janelle who are capable of the 99.75 mixed in with some people who don't get above 3% for their HSC in a subject - it just depends.
Yuppers they send out assesments and a few supplementary materials, you also can phone the teacher if you are in a bind. However its also important to note that OTEN only offers Beginners, not Continuers and you'd have to ask them if thats something you can technically repeat given you aren't exactly a Beginner to the language anymore, because of that point you might be better off with Open High School depending on what OTEN's answer is.Sugar said:Sounds promising.
I would have to do French through OTEN though. Is that like Open High? Where you are taught by corresponding with teachers?
I did French Continuers so maybe I'll do Open High.kami said:
Your answers:bunnie said:Hi, I have a couple of questions about Tafe.
- Do you get to choose what to study? Like in English for example, would you be able to study Imaginative Journey and the modules you have previously studied, or you just study what the teacher assigns?
- How big are the classes?
- Is the hours like high school, like from 9 to 3, every day of the week?
TIA.
Go wherever you feel comfortable going - because of the way TAFE teaches their subjects you could pick entirely new ones however most people don't in the end and thus the difference is purely that of timetabling and location IMO.bunnie said:
Well I find that TAFE classes in general are much longer than what I've heard from many schools - we recieve approximately 3 hours of class time per unit and classes actually continue through term 4 for most subjects as unlike in a school not everyone starts their HSC with english. You'll also have a free tutor available in the ILC(also known as the ALC in some places) for Maths, English and sometimes Science and Computing - and this service is run by TAFE as a state-wide thing so you can drop into *any* TAFE's ILC once you enroll at your campus's HSC program.bunnie said:
You visit the info day at the campus of your choice, a handful of campuses will hold an info day tommorow(they'll have an enrollment day when the rest do next year anyway) and most will hold one in late January/early February. Then you probably will get a very brief interview and you will lodge your application and voila.jubs_ said:
You may use your marks from a Diploma and in a handful of cases a Certificate IV course at TAFE as basis for entry to a Bachelor. The more you complete the more competitve you are for entry and thus with an incomplete Certificate IV it would be IMO a bit of a waste of time. If you plan to go that route it would be better to complete your Diploma so that you may recieve credit for the time spent at TAFE as well as a more competitive entrance score.jubs_ said:
How easily you make friends is really up to you. However you should be warned that unlike highschool there is no home room, school assemblies or school wide lunch breaks that everyone attends. Further, not everyone will even be doing english so there will be students you might never meet or are in at most 1 of your classes. This is basically what happens at uni though so its not as horrible as it sounds - you just have to be someone who actively socialises.dethroned said:
