i don't think that students should be forced to read the bible specifically. but i do think that a compulsory religion class running to year nine or something might be valuable as long as it places equal focus on all religions. religion and beliefs systems have an increbible ability to shape the...

i guess i'll open them when they come, my folks will make me. what worries me the most is the comparison of results afterwards. i just hate that awkward silence when someone tells you they did way better than you.

hey i think you guys underestimate HGHS, we came second once, i'm hoping for a repeat this year

that sounds so nice but unfortunately i can't drive/don't have a car so looks like i'll be stuck in sydney - probably attending my schools atarbecue

In the modern hsc i wrote that ho chi minh was born in 1980 (instead of 1890) twice. Thank god that was the only essay i got around to checking. Also once i had to give a speech on the intermediate touch footy team at assembly but called it the intimate team the whole time. Btw, i am blonde...

I only have one, geo, but i have a friend whose got art, drama and textiles so your not alone.

I know, but it's human nature to want to be the best, and although most people achknowledge that will never happen we still want to be the best in a familial context cause we feel that its our best chance to shine. I on the other hand have given up. My brother got 97 and is doing medicine so...

uws - you went shit. Don't look at me though. I live to far away for UWS to even be an option. But, that's just what i've been told.

What i love about non-christians is they feel its perfectly alright to ridicule a faith they don't understand. Do you know any christians who have murdered their children?

The thing is that although the HSC may seem unworthy of stress to you for a lot of people in selective schools it is. I go to a selective school (and its never been a problem with me) but i see so many girls who started at coaching colleges when they were 3 and ever since that have been working...

Wow, maybe you should get your EQ checked out, i think it'd be on the lower end of the scale. Some people are just bad at reading people and relating to them. It's a real problem that makes many feel like outsiders wherever they go. So how bout you stop rubbing it in this poor guys face. Some...

trust me this is not true. Some of the smarter people cruise through junior school and then have no idea what to do when the going gets tough so they just give up. I've seen it happen many times. On the other hand, those who've had to work hard their whole life have the upper hand when it comes...

Don't worry i looked at some of the standards packages and some of the people who got really good marks only wrote 4-6 pages. It really is quality over quantity.

I found it ok. my original thesis was on revenge which didn't work but i had some stuff on how people corrupt others so i talked about how unquestioning loyalty leads to corruption and destruction.

I thought it was good. P&H threw me a bit cause it seemed they expected different things from in the past - less analysis of the sources and more knowledge. For example with that baths thing i spent ages wondering what they wanted me to say when the source gave us basically nothing. The Caesar...
