Hi guys! I'm in my first year of uni this year and I would like to keep all my Superannuation from my work all in one account. I did some research on it and apparently I should have a super account from my first job that required a TFN. If that is the case, how and where will i find that...

Hi guys! What should students include in a 'personal statement' for Uni scholarships? Also, (this one is for a friend), if you are unsure about a course, are you able to still apply for a scholarship for that degree? Basically, are they able to apply for scholarships for multiple degrees...

Hi, Since Easter holidays ended, I've been napping for 2 hours most days after school from 5-7pm and sometimes I don't wake up at all - not until 6:30am when I have to get up for school. This is starting to have a big impact on me since I can't stay awake during those times and I've tried...

Hi, I take both Maths Extension 1 and English Extension 1 but I am doing poorly (below average) in MX1 so I'm planning to drop it. However, I am also only receiving average for EX1. I told my mate about this and they said that the high scaling for MX1 will balance things out. Although I am...

Hey! Just a general question, but what are some popular part time jobs that Uni students tend to have? Or like a specific area such as retail/hospitality. Also, I'm a Y12 thinking of doing some volunteering on the weekends or after school (to take my mind off studying 24/7) what are some...

Thankyou :(
