When i was in yr 12 i had a maths teacher that said "An exponential is like a virgin...approached but never touched". So, what does that tell you about all girl Catholic schools!

I haven't been here for ages so I just notices your email. ACU was always my first choice for education cause you are qualified to teach in both the private and public systems, and I want to teach in Catholic schools. In your first year, you practically are placed in a school by about week 4...

What do you mean? that you find it hard writing peices for it. Are you doing a choose your own adventure thingy? I created a factual site on fairytale psychology and just placed information under headings, ignoring repetition when information overlapped topics. Or, if repetition occured, I...

Let me tell you the common reaction that I recieve when I say that I go to ACU "Why didn't you apply for USyd?" I'll tell you why. To start off with I want to teach in the Catholic system so I would have had to do the religion side of my B Ed there anyway. And secondly, when I went to sydney...

I read two trilogies by Sara Douglas... The Axis Trilogy and The Wayfarer Redeption. They were excellent, in fact the word excellent is an understatement! Read Axis first because Wayfarer is set 40 years after.

Is there anyone else here who is at ACU or is going to ACU?

Hmmm...a pro Tannan thread. That's new. We had a thread last year that was spent hammering Tannen. We had some strange dislike to her. Prabably our teacher's fault. She has a linguistics degree and set really hard assignmnents. Seems like everyone tends to do the trio of Tannen, Elizabeth and...

we had our school song and that was it. The teacher's sung a song to use though, it was forever young or something like that. Before we left the stage after out concert out year coord put on the line 'let's go girls' from "man I feel like a woman". it was funny.

Here's sone example...There's something about the North of Australia, in which special livestock are tested for signs of a deadly virus carried by some insect from Asia. Because of the sea winds, the insect can easily be 'flown' to Australia. Have you tried looking up the Quarrantine Website...

Hang on a sec...do you really think that you would be able to research your topic and write your first draft by the end of the summer hols?? I'm sorry if I sound rude - but you're dreaming. If you hope to get STARTED by the end of the hols, then that is a more realistic goal.

You boys are ABSOUTELY HORRIBLE!!!!! I'm not telling you who I am but I'm in the the row behind the teachers. That's it!

I just finished reading the Axis Trilogy and the Waferer Redemption Trilogy by Sara Douglass. I'd give the 6 book a million star rating. She's the Aussie equvalent of Tolkein in my opinion!

Don't forget that you have to relate what you do to either the EE1 course of Advanced course from year 11 or 12. If you're someone like me you'd do what you want to do then find some way to link it. For example, I constructed a website on Fairytale Psychology. I linked it to gendered language...

oh him...he's one of those teachers who always muck around in class. Nah...not disturbing.

here's a tip...why don't you link common techniques between the texts and discuss them that way.
