    School doesn't tell us what our rankings are??

    Over this whole year my none of my subject reports and only one of my assessments have been returned with a ranking. Two teachers told their classes in person around half yearlies. I know that rankings 'don't count' in Y11, but it would be nice to be told where I'm at in my courses. I always...

    Thanks Simorgh, absolutely I will be calling them when school resumes to find out a bit more- particularly if I'll have to fly back for trials and/or final exams :)

    Urgent: Entire HSC through Distance Education?? Yes or No

    Thank you!! :) Yes I think being an I and also J type would be helpful (I wouldn't miss lunchtime small talk and would have a good chance of sticking to schedules etc :) ) It's tough because although I see big advantages in it I would be moving from a school ranked roughly 100 to one ranked...

    Urgent: Entire HSC through Distance Education?? Yes or No

    Hi :smile: I'm just about to finish Year 11. My family lives overseas, in Term 3 last year I moved back to Aus, coming back to old friends and escaping the IB diploma :blink2: (it is a bit more complicated then that). Things are quite different now- I'm not seeing my friends near as much as I...

    Dropping Subjects

    I am in Year 11 as well and dropping art as soon as I can.. Not only am I finding the theory a bit dull, I don't think I 3U+Physics+Art would make a great combination.. However if you enjoy it then definitely consider keeping :)

    Ext Eng v Ext Maths: Prestige and Potential

    I am taking 3U Maths and for a long while almost picked up 3U English.. The way I see it English is quite subjective and I didn't feel confident that I would achieve decent results.. however with maths you know that if you put the time and effort into more units you will be rewarded. Now I have...

    Is it cheating??

    We had a hand-in assessment due last Friday, and on Wednesday my friend took the day off school to work on it + another task. This obviously doesn't break the "must attend the day before" rule, but I feel like people doing this is a bit unfair on the rest of the class group. Is this something...

    Reading the full text Vs. Study Guide

    I read Sparknotes' 'Othello' over the holidays, however we are also reading and analyzing it in class. I feel as though all I really got from those hours of reading was the general storyline.. :eek: Is it ever better to get a good understanding through a study guide (never used one for...

    Is buying a car worth it in Year 11??

    I was actually thinking I would resell it if I went to uni in the city.. Would it be a big waste to resell after 18 months??

    Is buying a car worth it in Year 11??

    I can go for my P Plates in a few months, however I don't know if buying a car is worth all of the money when I could catch the school bus :uhoh: Considering all of the costs, (I live about 30 mins from my school, also in a regional area with limited transport) I am working 1 7hr shift a...
