Extension 2, Art, Music and Drama has two. People always rubbish the fact that Drama actually has two major works but it does. Both IP (individual project) and GP (group performance) require logbooks and a submitting of work/performance. Music also kinda has two as well, but not really. You do...

10 units was the best decision i ever made. Averaging over 90 in everything because less units = more time to study/revise/major work/whatever.

Recently, when telling people i have 5 major works, they laugh at me, or say something discouraging like 'dude, thats like a suicide attempt spanned over the course of the HSC' I truly don't understand why people are so concerned about major works. Like i said before, I have 5, and i have...

just got my mark...20/20!!!! I agree with Catherinet. Just dont shutup. Ever.

It's hilarious how different schools treat this assessment. It's a real mixed bag. A friend of mine had to do his EE2 Viva to the whole of year 12 (all English classes combined together) and had a 10 minute speech, after getting a question 2 minutes before. My viva was a conversation with my...

the exact same thing happened to me!!

Well, if you were doing this for Drama it would be tip top. But I think an EE2 script is supposed show some kind of reliance on the written word. It seems a bit risky. You need to show some kind of concept or message. You're not being marked on the practicality of it, more the language and the...

I'm writing for: Flute, Piccolo, Panpipes, String Quartet, Timpani and Marimba. A South-American themed programmatic piece portraying the fall of the Tupinamba tribe.

hey, don't be so sure!!!! Viva was sick. Didn't even feel like an assessment. wooo!

i did exactly that. started about 3/4 of the way through year 11. and now im basically finished. so i definitely recommend it. it's made my life 100% easier. and i can focus on my other MWs!

I am in the exact same boat as you right now. Being a singer, i thought i would draw influence from Britten. I mean, you don't have to embody the most influential composer in your composition, as long as its a composer that lived in that time. I'm doing SATB with treble solo, and imitating...

shh. he's postmodern. cool cat.

Another tip: Don't over-complicate your composition (This was what always fucked me up). I would write for like 15 instruments and add unnecessary dynamics/accents/tenuto/staccato etc etc. I reckon its better to write some simple but ace it, rather than to do something complex but patchy..?

I had my Viva today as well, and i got all worked up about it.. It turned out to be a 15 minute conversation with my teacher about where i'm going with my MW, and yeah. He basically gave us the questions on the assessment sheet. It was actually the easiest assessment i have ever done in my...

I reckon it's better to go slower and produce something fantastic. Don't do what I did the other day, and write a piece of shit because I felt an immense amount of pressure from my teacher. It just came out rubbish. I thought it was rubbish, and my teacher thought it was rubbish (which didn't...

Dude, do we have the same teacher? My teacher has just come out of uni, and his English grammar and spelling is ridiculously bad. I'm the only kid in my art class who is doing Advanced English, so he gets away with it, but sometimes I wonder whether he even knows what he's saying. He'll write...

atyp kid myself. who was your tutor? and what was the workshop on?

Story time, hooray! Uhh, a friend of mine tried to sneak in a video camera to Onstage 07, and he got escorted out for 'breaking copyright' or something like that..? They didn't take the camera off him though, so he has about half of the night recorded. God, it was funny. You're right, they...

i saw this thread, and without even really know who it is, the first thing i thought was Namu. ...lol?

Doesnt it go... 10% = 1 day late 50% = 2 days late 100% = any longer Dude, get a doc's cert. It's the HSC, not who should be the most honest. Not saying you are, but it really shits me when people get all moral about things like this. In the end, your teachers more likely to accept the fact...
