Earlier HSC timetable scheme? (1 Viewer)

[shinji]

mm. apparently the hsc is beginning earlier for us this year.

i heard it from my teachers that it's going to start a week earlier. because of something like the term ending of finishing earlier then the other hsc.

im not 100% sure about the facts. but i am sure that my teachers at school stated on the hsc being closer.

i have 3 teaches that have supported this information.

whta u guys think?

 

[hopeles5ly]

at this point i don't really know lol. haven't really been thinking about the actual HSC exam as opposed to my half-yearlies. but yeah i think it will suck though as it takes off a week in which we could use for study !! ><"

This year's HSC apparently begins on the first week of Term 4 instead of the second week (like in previous years). It begins on a Thursday....WTF?! (In previous years it starts on a Monday) This sux.......

ATTENTION CLASS OF 2006

Let me explain why I think this has happened.....

Because of something to do with the placement of Easter this year, term 1 has been lengthened to 11 weeks, instead of the usual 10.

This, in turn, has slightly put out the rest of the years term starting and finishing dates.

Now, the HSC to my knowledge usually starts Monday of Week 2, Term 4. If they were to do that this year, the HSC wouldn't be starting until the 23rd of October, and henceforth not finishing until around the 24th of November. This is obviously too late, as it's almost hitting December.

So, the BOS had to fiddle with the running dates. They probably felt it was unfair to move the HSC to Monday, Week 1, Term 4 - as in school week time the class of '06 would be missing out on an entire weeks worth of STUVAC.

So, the answer was to not move the HSC to Monday Week 1, or Week 2 - but start it on a day towards the end of Week 1.

Henceforth, the HSC is starting this year on Thursday the 19th of October (the end of Week 1) and finishing around Friday the 17th of November (the end of Week 5).

All clear now kiddies?

Study Vaction - The period after your formal schooling finishes and before the HSC begins where you don't have to attend school and have the time off to study until HSC exams.

 

[Monstar]

lol economics better not be last again

 

[shinji]

i believe that business studies was last ... i think.

or was it the 2nd last exam.. which is crap seeing that a lot of people do business studies.

 

[nataliie]

last years time table had economics on the last day,
business on the 2nd last day,
and hospitality on the 3rd last day.

if it's the same this year i think i'll have a mental breakdown. =(
