lets face it, everyone will say the more accurate newspaper is the one that ranks their school higher. its weird that there is such a huge difference between the papers though (hornsby going from 2nd to 11th??) :(

how hard is heart of darkness!!! i barely understood anything until i read the summaries afterwards:p

lol as long as you're willing to completely sacrifice sleep :)

we went to jindy in the second week of the year so it was still hot and we couldn't ski! :(

what school do you go to??? public all the way :p a lot of people think that privos are all snobs but i guess that may not be entirely true....

i'm interested in media/comm as well and i do legal and modern. which one you choose really depends on what you're good at. generally you need to be good at essaywriting for both of them, but legal is more memory based - there is a lot of content you need to learn, dates of legislation etc...

i did: English Advanced English Extension 1 Legal Studies Business Studies Modern History Society and Culture Philosophy i've always preferred humanities subjects but giving up maths was a big thing as my parents always wanted me to do it. i got advice from teachers, career advisor etc and...
