I was just wondering what different schools give you for coming first in an HSC course at the end of the year. I've just discovered that we get a photocopied certificate, which I reckon is pretty stingy. I realize that there will be lots of different awards, so it can get pricey, but I think...

Each time I get to the end of To Kill a Mockingird, I get all teary - it is such a beautiful book - and the movie is cool too!

I've read it too and I agree with you Ms 12 about the ending - George knew that it was the best way to handle things with Lennie, but it was SO SAD!!

I meant that even if you had someone who was not very capable at all doing an extension, just by enrolling in that particular subject, and not doing well at all, simply because it has the title "extension", they will do well - i.e. even if I'm not strong in Maths and English extension, will I...

I found it okay - last exam, so of course it was going to feel good at the end regardless! I'd tipped for Business Class and Spaghetti to be used. They never give enough space in the first section though do they?! I did the old people question - but only because we'd practised something...

sugaryblue - I really feel for you with your dilemma re French. It doesn't seem fair that what you want can be influenced by other people and logistics, does it? I had to do a bit of jumping up and down myself to make sure that my school kept my Ext French class open because people kept...

Thanks sugaryblue and Laz! No, I'm not a background speaker, but I guess you could say that languages are my passion. Because of a medical condition I have, I wasn't able to go on exchange, and everyone (teachers included) said that this would be detrimental to my HSC success. So, when I look...

Thanks Hottieflossy - I was afraid you'd say that. Although I know all of them, it is so tempting to take a gamble!

I'm really sorry to be a pain with my questions, but if anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it! I do 4 extensions - Maths, English, French and German. Everyone just assumes that because I have quite a few extensions, I'll get a good UAI. My estimated bands are: Maths - High band...

This is just a general query - I've got German Extension coming up on Friday, and I'm pretty sure that the course is roughly like all the others (I know it's like French). Basically, I'm asking a lazy question - I have to learn 5 short stories, just like the 5 extracts in French, for two...

I have applied and was encouraged to do so by my school for a medical condition that I've had since birth which has required frequent surgery - the last of which was just before the trials. I would have to agree with your cynicism eveajac, because during one of our whole year meetings, the head...

German is a great language to learn, and the country is even better! I've only spent a week there, but I'm dying to go back. I would have learnt Italian, but like you with German, it wasn't offered at my school:(

I also heard that for a sought after course, where there may be say 2 places left, if there are two people who have applied under the EAS and are elligible for the same amount extra, the person with the higher UAI before the extra will get in. I've applied under two codes - medical and...

I was disappointed that the schoolies question wasn't a letter - I think it's much easier to respond to an actual person's thoughts. What option did you chose in the last two questions? I did the personal profile and the letter about Paris. I'm relieved it's over!

For anyone who did German Continuers today - what did you think? I thought it was so-so, but wouldn't rave!

That's really funny - I heard "Disons plus de ciquante ans"!

thanks for that - it didn't feel right!

I'm in a similar position in a class of four, where I'm ranked 2nd with one mark between me and the first person. They have really slacked off, and my teacher has predicted the sort of marks our class will achieve in the HSC. I tried out the protype moderator thing, and was really concerned...

I wrote about the disability question because I'd done a similar topic in class. It was basically no different to a generic "tolerance of difference" topic, and so for me, it was the obvious one to do!

Tell me about it! I have to say I was really disappointed with the extract. Who did you say coped more successfully with change? When I told my teacher I'd chosen Marius, I think she thought I should have chosen Jeannette, but I figure that I justified my opinion, so as long as I did that, it...
