hope everyones first day at school was swell. i sat my first english trials (paper 1) today, leading up to the exam it was really nervewracking, doesn't help that it was like 13 degrees this morning so my hand felt soooo cold but legit as soon as the 10 minutes reading time began i was totally locked in. managed to write the most bullshit ive ever written in my entire education career but it felt good walking out of the door that i was 1/6 done with my internal exams. my essay question was something like: "to what extent does george orwell convey desire as a fundamental human experience in 1984" ... and if you guys have read 1984 you would probs understand my feeling of "WTF" when i read that question lulul i was like... desire, where??? i ended up just writing about desire for change that culminates in false hope, desire for control by the party and a selfconscious desire for self-autonomy or something dumb idk all my vocabulary went out the window as soon as i started writing :p

keep up with your studies guys and do lots of practice papers and questions !!! although trials are super scary, it legit all washes away when you're in the exam and your brain just goes instant fight mode LOL
HEY DUDE DYK WHERE YOUR SCHOOL BOUGHT THE PAPER IM TRYNA FIGURE OUT COS THEYRE NOT GIVING OUR TRIAL PAPERS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

?? idk where my school buys papers, im not even sure if they bought the english paper since i realised that the essay question was used in a previous exam but most of my subjects had papers written externally to be specific to the amount of work we had finished in the syllabus then the teachers would tailor the questions to make them align better with their predictions for the hsc so all our papers are unique to other schools + i did this exam in week one so as far as i know im getting my marks back next week since they are internally marked by our teachers

I agree that the HSC has made some people overly competitive but handing out the exam questions isn't the way to unify people. If it's designed to put us against each other then why are you furthering that by supporting the actions people who try to gain an unfair advantage? I think @AsuTeksu's reaction is an example of why that is the wrong way to go, they don't want their hard work undermined by someone looking for an easy way out.
nah ur fair and made me reflect on my opinions since i dont take cssa papers which I've realised is probably a lot more different mentality & technicalities; i was moreso thinking of it in a sorta classmate way since in my year group/friend group if someone asks like we usually try and help as much as possible or you can come across as rude but this is online and other people probably see it differently. this is probably why i think i came across odd because i rlly wasn't taking the thread seriously. i just think the reactions to the dudes were unwarranted especially during such a sensitive period and rather then shaming for asking such questions (since honestly i dont think anybody had any negative intentions to undermine others albeit selfish) we should probs respond in more helpful/kind ways that don't involve outright giving exam questions nor wishing bad karma on them. anyways looking back i can see why my messages are frustrating since i come across dismissive and unserious lmao sorry :jump: lets all work hard and root for each other to do well regardless of circumstance or opinion :angel:

private schools tend to apply for more disability provisions than public schools. this is speculation but sometimes schools encourage students to apply for provisions, even if the student doesnt require them

the parents of private schoolers are usually rich and have money for diagnosises and assesments. sometimes the private schools will also push the students to apply for disability provisions to get an advantage i suppose, like i really doubt 1 in 3 reddam house students really need rest breaks, but 1 in 3 get disability provisions. also public schools tend to have less resources for submitting and dealing with disability provisions, for example i go to one of the better funded public schools, but the school still turned in my disability provision application late

I think its because often the kids at private schools who are "lower support needs" for lack of a better phrase, might not have the resources to get a diagnosis at public schools due to financials, overcrowding in classrooms and not enough teachers so only the students who are significantly impacted in all aspects or "high support needs" get noticed and diagnosed thus less provisions

also the schools might not have the resources to accommodate for as many provisions at public schools due to the large amount of students

theres also a severe underfunding problem with public schools so they themselves cant get the resources needed

I'm surprised my school isn't higher on that list tbh (its 30 in the 30s or 40s I think), so many people at my school have provisions. fortunately we have the space and resources to accommodate for it (private school)
