    Casual Rates for Big Companies

    Hey. Not sure if I'm misinterpreting the string "CASUAL RATES FOR ORDINARY HOURS WORKED", but these are not the actual casual rates. At least, not for woolies. I've worked there for almost two years now, and I can tell you your figures [for woolies] are pretty correct, but they're the non...

    Say No To Intelligent Design

    Ergh. I find this so annoying. They go around bugging us on the streets, coming to our homes to preach their inconsistent beliefs and now they want to invade our nice little logical learnings?! It's Bulls#!t. I don't know if the Board is seriously considering it or not, but there's got to...

    Best+Worst of Teacher Quotes and Habits

    And, after some months, im here to report my findings again... Mainly...My Biology teacher. she's awesome. She always tells us inappropriate stories of her travels overseas and such. In particular, the time she went to some third world country and drank some water from her guide's drink...

    2008 Volleyball Schools cup

    Hey. I was wondering if any other students from here were entering this competition. My team were going to, and we've been fundraising for weeks to get there [we're in NSW...comp is in Melbourne]...and just today our principal turned around and said he's not going to support us going, meaning...

    14 Units...too much?

    14 units isn't just a waste of time, even though they only take your top 10. The others are still on your HSC. Best bet would be to keep them all for the time being. You might find that having lots of work is good for you. I know if I have lots to do, I do it, whereas if I've got free time...

    So Who Is Telling The Truth???!

    I think that, to me, that is the whole purpose of this topic: understanding that in Many real life situations, there is no real truth. Like russian and rise said, you just have to talk about and compare their truths, their "personal understanding of the truth, their perspective." A quote you...

    phenotype experiment

    Lol. My class did a similar experiment. We each potted two pots of Rye grass seeds, and fertilised one of them and not the other. The expected results were that effect of environment [the fertiliser] would mean the phenotype of the fertilised grass would be better [healthier, larger, stronger]...

    DNA structure

    This was explained to my class in great detail, as our teacher wanted us to make up our own mind as to who was more important in the discovery. We all agreed that Rosalind Franklin was the most important person in the discovery of the DNA structure. It was a conjoint effort, as zingerburger...

    2008 HSC drama students

    Hey, I've been doing Drama since year 9 [doing HSC now] and like everyone, I much enjoy the practical over the theory. My class has 10 people in it. Havent really gotten into my IP yet, but my teacher keeps giving me ideas and scripts and trying to get me to choose one because he knows what...

    Blueprint of Life Tips

    My tip would be to learn to love the subject. Don't listen to other people when they groan and complain about the difficulties, it'll just make you think negatively about the subject/topic too. If you picked Bio, I'm assuming you had an interest in it. If you learn the stuff and think...

    Best+Worst of Teacher Quotes and Habits

    Wow. Here's something I can relate to. My English teacher is constantly saying things that don't seem to go...or come from...anywhere. There's lots...but, the one I always remember is: "Everyone has a face...even disabled people...and that's a tragedy for those who don't." We all just sat...
