    How do misadventures affect your ATAR?

    I applied for Misadventure in three exams due to the fact I live in Springwood and I was evacuated due to bushfires during the HSC, as well as the constant sirens/helicopters overhead distracting me at home. The supervisor wrote 'lost time 10 minutes' due to stress relating to the bushfires for...

    Jobs after HSC?

    Where would be some places that would be good to apply at after I finish HSC? I currently work at McDonald's (been working there 1.5 years) and i'm sick to death of it, half the time it's insane in terms of pace and stress, and the other half it's dead and there's nothing to do, and managers...

    Repeating Year 12 with different subjects

    My internal ranks seem to be getting worse, and i'm now considering repeating Year 12, but without subjects which I am doing poorly in (doing subjects which I will perform better in). I'm at a low ranked (300s) school, and i've stuffed a number of assessments (in several subjects), so it's not...

    Have I stuffed it?

    I'm doing poorly in 3 of my 12 units, i'm ranked 7/11 in Legal Studies (I hate the subject and the teacher) and I got back a Studies of Religion mark today, 30/36 :( (I was ranked 5th in the previous task), so i'd imagine my ranking to be now around 18/36. My school is ranked horribly (like mid...

    Have I stuffed my HSC? Failed an English assessment?

    I just got an English assesment mark back (for Hamlet), and I got 28/32. I was actually expecting to do quite well in it, but yeah, that didn't really happen obviously. My ranking in the previous assessment was 7/32. So my question is, have I stuffed my HSC? In addition, i'm guessing it's too...

    English Ext 1...to drop or not to drop?

    I really shouldn't have chosen English Extention 1. I kind of chose it on impulse when the person in charge of subject choices told me that I should switch from Geography to Ext 1 because Ext 1 scales better and all that yada yada. Thing is, I was good at Geography and as I found out, pretty bad...

    Belonging/Navigating The Global related texts?

    What would be a couple of related texts that fit in with BOTH Belonging (Advanced) and Navigating The Global (Extension 1). My teachers have suggested Bowling For Columbine and The Castle, would you suggest these and if so, how do they fit in with the areas of study? I've never seen Bowling For...

    Good related texts for Advanced and Extention 1?

    What are some good related texts for Belonging and Navigating The Global? I know I don't really need them until half yearlies and people from school that I've talked to about it haven't chosen them yet, but i'd like to get a bit of head start. My teachers have suggested The Castle and Bowling...

    Does any other school have before/after school classes?

    For some reason, my school seems to have a fetish for after and before school classes for Year 12. The before school classes start at 7:30am and the after school classes finish at 5pm. At least one of my subjects (Economics) is going to have one of these classes. It's a massive PITA because...

    Would this be considered an 'approved misadventure'?

    My teacher e-mailed me a business studies assesment task (an assignment). It is due on Wednesday. For some reason, the school's e-mail network is down (it's not just my home computers, it's down for everyone) and I can't access it to get the assignment notificaton, therefore I cannot do the...
