Our school's so annoying, they never give out timetables until the week before. So if you happen to have an exam sheduled out of school time and you work...

Yay!! Self employed!! I tecnically work one hour a week, but it often streches about 15 mins over and i have to prepare before it, so probably around 1 & 1/2 hours. With possible expansion to hours and a pay rise. Even better. And teaching music means good pay (for our age). I really recon...

Yeah Jachie, I agree with you. I think that if you want to do well and study then you will. I also believe that perhaps a tutor may put you in the right direction, but that asking your teacher for help briefly and then following the help up with a bit of study by yourself is much better. I...

Remember you don't have to do work experience in year 10, I'm doing mine now in year 11 cause the dates just worked out better. If you wanna apply somewhere like a hospital or firm, don't feel bad if you get rejected, cause often they just don't know what to do with work experience people, just...

I missed an entire section of the maths paper cause it fell on the floor. I didn't study, had a crap exam, missed 20% of the paper and still got an easy band 5...that means i missed 20% of the paper, and got a score above 80%. Figure that one out all those ppl accelerated in maths. Nah, your...

I recon they should have an english component that you either pass or fail, it shouldn't have to count for a UAI. im not hopeless at english, but it is my worst subject and the two units have to count. And the english we do seems to not make any difference to communication. if they can't teach...

Why can't they unblock the sites, and just log people who access the "bad" sites. It would make it so much easier. Did you know it bans certain colours, ie skin tones? what the hell do they call skin tone anyway? Maybe I'll just tint everything aqua... They also banned their own...

just be aware, there used to be seven concepts...the seventh being "performing media", but its been scrapped now and incorporated into tone colour. Duration: remember any changes in duration, like it speeds up here, or it has a fast and a slow section, or there is a change from 3/4 to 4/4. If...

you WANTED to do wuthering heights!! :O we had to do it in year 10. It got called Withering heights by everyone, and i mean everyone including our teacher!! we have to do "reinventions". at the moment we have a sub cause our teachers in hospital, and she told us that it was weird doing...

I agree with Jachie, loose leaf works much better. Rather than letting your notes get all over the place, put them in the right order in the first place. YAou won't loose your folder cause you only have one. If you go to a lesson and dont have it, then you left it in your last room. Insted with...

It'll be great when we know exactly whats due and when. But what does annoy me is the way english has cut our work down, not that I don't want them to get rid of it. Its just annoying, so much stuff gets cut down by english. Our mary armstrong speech, the gothic unit with wuthering heights, the...

I dont regret not bludging, but i do regret how much time i spent on assignments. I wish the work allowed you to work harder (like, harder topics), but you did less of it

I love fountain pens. Only cause I do calligraphy, cause im a stuck up nerd, so ive used one for ages. they do smudge a bit more easily, but you learn very quickly. And i did tech drawing, and learnt to use old tech type of ink pens, from my grandfather's old set. However, nothing wrong with...

No-one at our school got offered accellerated, and I know of one girl that did ask. I thought it would have been a good idea to do an accellerated course, get some of it out of the way:)

its not that they have dibs on the best teachers, just that more teachers apply for the jobs at selective schools cause theres more extension and stuff that is taught. so whoever chooses the new teacher gets to choose from more people, so is more likely to get a really good teacher. yes, people...
