Who is ready for yr 11? (1 Viewer)

[occer]

We're a year away from Year 12.

I dislike this realisation.

 

[lezah]

same

Same as well.

I'm excited for year 11 because I'll be doing all the subjects I love! It should be fun for the most part I guess, since I enjoy all the subjects that I'll be taking.

 

[s11gib]

It's funny how so many people dislike history and geography so do I.

I'm doing Ext English, Ext maths, Eco, Phys and Chem

Can't wait but then again I would rather enjoy my relaxed and laid back life in year 10 rathar than go crazy studying like a nerd in year 11... hehehe

 

[manutd12]

Yeh Im really excited ... Im taking up 13 units .. doing everything I love. And taking one step closer to my dream of becoming a Nurse.

I'm doing
1. Gen Maths
2.Stan English
3.Community & Family Studies
4.PDHPE
5.Hospitality
6.Biology
7.Sports Lifestyle and Recreation

No.

Having been accelerated in mathematics at Year 11 level (ext 1), I can say the following from experience. I'm not trying to scare you but just bring you back to reality.

Year 10 is the last 'easy' year you're going to get. The amount of studying people say you need to do in Year 11 is not exaggerated. Natural intelligence alone is not going to help you get good marks.

Studying is something you simply have to do. You're pretty much forced to by the amount of homework you get and the step up from Year 10 in terms of the difficulty of concepts you have to learn.

Don't be too complacent if you're going into Year11, especially if you did well in Year 10, be prepared. Hope I helped.

I realise that the workload will increase hugely, but otherwise I'm sure I'll enjoy Year 11 to an extent. I enjoy all of the subjects I've chosen, except for Mathematics, which is why I only picked 2U.

Agreed. I chose 2U advanced to give it a try - I can always drop to standard maths if it gets too hard - but I salute those who do 3U...

I just got my subjects for next year and am soo happy with them: I can't explain my excitement.
As for school... it's the week after our yearly exams and the teachers really have no idea what to do with us except make us do past tests for revision and, personally, I am really sick of any kind of exam.
Oh well... after the SC, it's going to be a massive bludge while we wait for year eleven to come :]

 

[aussienerd]

im extra ready ive already done yr 11 in 3 subjects and im actually starting yr 12 in one of them

If you asked me that question six months ago my reply would've been: 'Hell, yeah. Bring it on. Bring on everything I love and lose everything I hate."

But then I realised it wasn't that simple. Even though I got away with doing no maths and no science (yay!) I'm still doing a course just to fill up units.

Basically all my friends are going to a senior school and some are even going to selective. I can't just click my fingers and change groups, especially when I've prided myself in being in the not being in the 'I'm so good...look at me...OMG" group, who walk around the school and think they're king shit but in reality they're just a bunch of bogans and bimbos everybody hates.

But the worst thing? The worst thing is, in earlier years, I looked forward to the senior school. I mean the seniors at school walk around like they own the place...and they do, to some extent. I mean they're the ones doing the hardest courses out of any of us, they've got the HSC and whatever. Another thing is the groups are really small. I mean REALLY small. My group isn't all that big to begin with and I don't want to end up as the loser-loner girl coz all her friends moved away.

I thought Years 11 and 12 would be great. I'd be with my friends, I'd have my P's, a car and a job. I'd being doing the subjects I absolutely love and nobody could talk me into doing subjects I do well in but hate with a passion. I'd be confident and happy. I'd be independent and I'd spend my free periods at the Maccas down the road, eating lunch with friends and then spend lunch shopping. I'd never have to deal with the horrible teachers that teach the in the Home Ec. department because I'd never being doing Home Ec. again. I'd think it was all so easy and have the "time of my life" people like John Mellencamp and Bryan Adams sing about.

But the reality is that I'm not with my friends, I don't have my P's or a job. Somebody talked me into doing a subject I despise. I'm not happy. I can't spend my frees at Maccas or shopping because of a new system where we have to stay in school. Therefore I'm not independent and I'm not having the "time of my life". Looks like Bryan and and John were wrong.

Now, somehow, I'm faced with that ever so infamous question, I'm sure I'm not meant to deal with until I'm 17. The question I'm not ready for. The question that every Australian young adult novel is based on. A question I never used to understand because, to me, the answer was so simple. Until now.



'Who am I?'

Honestly, I have no idea.

Holy @%!&, you got some issues girl.

your a chick on bos, yes?
just wth...live life

 

[4025808]

Looks like no more Australian Geo and History for me.... though I'll be doing Modern History.... =P

And glad I don't have anymore PDHPE... and possibly no more sciences if I get pulled down to senior science (which means I'll be changing subjects) xD

Looks like I'll also be getting a boost on the 3U maths from my tutor......

Also, no more junior school, off to a senior campus.. *WOOT* =P

and by term 4 next year, NO MORE SPORT =D

 

[OK456]

Agreed. I chose 2U advanced to give it a try - I can always drop to standard maths if it gets too hard - but I salute those who do 3U...

Oh, I completely agree. I see you're doing Ext English, so my respect for you has already doubled.
My teacher actually recommended Ext 1 to me, but my hate for it is so strong I don't think I'd last. It is my weakest subject.
Unfortunately to get into the Uni courses I'm looking at I'll need 2U, so it's something to improve on.
Try your best to stick to advanced Maths, because doing standard (General) Maths will severely affect your choices of Uni courses...but if that doesn't bother you, do what you want!
Good luck!

 

[coldTEARSx3]

BRING IT ON
No more studying (or so my mother wishes) for School certificate which has no significance.
And bye bye geography and science HAHAHAH

 

[caffeinated4]

I look forward to: no more History, Geography, and PE (even though it is fun at times).
I can't wait, but I really can't wait until the SC is over and the unofficial holidays start

I look forward to Society & Culture, and Music 1 Because they're basically different from the norm and are still really interesting (imo). But apparently the workload is enormous so I think I can wait for that

Shit. I think I just replace-double-posted.

Pft. Oh well.

 

[firstneg]

I went to the orientation of my new school on Monday and Tuesday and I cannot wait until next year. I'm happy with all my subjects, the teachers and the general atmosphere of the school.
No longer do I have the apprehension of leaving all my friends, even though I have been with many of them since kindergarten and I have never really needed to establish myself.
But I'm not there for socialising so bring on 2010!

I haven't lost my apprehension. Like you, I've known my friends for years. And they are like family. It gets like that. I guess I am just scared of losing my security blanket. Of jumping into new classes with bitches and not having my best friend to turn to when they think it will be fun to treat Michelle like shit for the day.I've never really needed to move out of my comfort zone. I've never needed to prove myself. I've never needed to have that sort of independence. I was quite happy leaning on them and vice versa.And no, I'm not there to socialise but it is good going through the day actually talking to friends.I was so hoping that this change was linked to this search of identity crap but my friends are such a big part of my that I kind of have to find myself after they're ripped out from under me. Like I said, I have no idea who I am./end rant.

 

[Schoey93]

I am ready for Year 11! I have already started the foundation programme, which is fun. (Not really.)

My subjects for next year are biology, English advanced, hospitality (kitchen operations), Italian, PD/H/PE and studies of religion II.

I'm most looking forward to biology and Italian. After two years of distance education study of Italian (I studied it through the Open High School because it was unavailable to me otherwise), I am really looking forward to a change. Studying it in a class, albeit a class containing one continuer (me) and a stack of beginners should be fun.

Year 11 sounds good! Anyone else doing Italian?
