I received mine.


I'm wondering- is it normal to receive a blank page with your certificate? I received a nice shiny certificate, and the notes on the courses, plus a blank sheet. It has the embossed title and shield, and the watermark, but nothing written on it. Strikes me that I could knock up a fake with a few minutes on photoshop and any printer.

I had to goto the post office to pick it up. Ghey.

Tomorrow i need too need to go to the post office. No delivery, only a notification. I have 5 days- then they will return to the sender. Will the BOARD just re- send it then, this time so i don't have to collect it? I wonder if it was because it was raining today(?).

Our postie dropped mine at our door- probably because it was raining? *thumbs up* Kinda disappointed there's no certificate for HSC Honour Roll *sniff sniff*

LOL I'm pretty sure you could sell it to whomever still hasn't told their rents their HSC results^^

 

[PaleReflection]

My parents woke me up at like 10am and made me open it. It was all wet.

Well, I do need money for my textbooks. The important questions are-

a) Did anyone else get one?
b) Is it illegal to sell it?

Seriously though, I guess the one thing I'm really worried about is whether or not this means I'm missing a page from my HSC.

 

[Rafy]

a) Did anyone else get one?

Well it wasnt meant to be there if thats what you mean. I doubt they made a habit of including them.

b) Is it illegal to sell it?

Most likely.

 

[Abbeygale]

Most likely.

Well that's no fun.

a) I didn't?
b) Depends how you market it... if you said it was a 'souveneir' or a 'sample'.. hehe.

Well, if nobody else got one I guess it would qualify as a 'collectable'.

I guess now I have to go call the BOS or whoever it was that issued them, make sure I have all my bits. Bugger.

EDIT: The BOS guy says I have everything I'm supposed to. Guess the blank one was just a freebie.

lol, same! I was in bed, just in my boxers, heard a knock rushed to chuck some jeans and a shirt on, and went out and got it. I forgot all about it, I was like, who's this big package for, then it said me! I was like "hurrah!" then i opened it and thought "meh"

 

[frootloop]

Awww it's not fair! All these people got handed their HSC.. the jolly postman knocked on their door and wished them luck or whatever... it's like something out of a cheesy cheesy sitcom or a children's program or story (of some kind).

I would've liked that...

The gates were locked so mine was (carefully) placed into the mailbox instead.

Meh, it's just the HSC.

 

[manifestation]

I got mine yesterday in the mailbox all wet and soggy cause of the rain... Oh joyous joy

LOL I too was excited about receiving this heavy-ish package (with the cardboard and "do not bend" notification)... until I saw the BoS logo.

 

[wwjd_frog14]

i didnt c the BOS logo so i was doubley excited till i opened it! :wave:

The only interesting thing was seeing graphically how the state did in each course. And my German gave me a laugh.

 

[misery]

Suspiscious, blank looking envelope that made me think I had won a competition revealed itself to be damp, wrinkled HSC papers. Severely mediocre reaction, stuffed into bottom drawer.

Not that I wasn't happy with my marks, its just met with a huge resounding 'meh' across the state.
