We had to fill out a sheet of achievements or activities from school...but I did not have one single thing to write on mine! Never repersented the school in sport, never debated, never went to a mock trial, wasn't a peer support leader, never been in a school play...nothing! But my reference was still pretty good. I have no idea who wrote it, but my hat goes off to them.

anyone eva faked a reference? do u reckon its possible i haven't tried

lol-yeah, I think you could pretty easily. You'd have to make it so that it looked like the real references from your school (in case someone else handed one in and they saw the differene), but other than that, I'd say you'd be safe to make up whatever you like! Even if they checked up on you at the school (highly unlikely...), no one would remember what was written on your reference anyway.

Well... I guess you could do that, but what about the school's letterhead?

 

[jessika]

borrow a spare piece of paper from school that just happens to have the letterhead on it

My reference was brilliant, made me look like a goody two shoes smart arse. Havent got a clue who wrote it. We had to fill out sheets with all our achievements on them. Good on them, I thought everyone at my school hated me (Teachers, that is)

 

[tammer]

Hmmmm... I wonder how the schools wrote their references without asking their students to fill those out.

 

[Noelle]

I'm really paranoid about having no school involvement only a few awards.

I went to an amnesty meeting in year 9 and I timekept for debating once.

When I was in Year one i got a busy bee award for 'cutting beautiful straight lines'
