N awards or N award warnings?

Either way you really should be doing your assignments. Make sure you are submitting every assignment from now on on time. I think you can possibly progress from Y9 to Y10 with N awards, but that's almost always not the case for Y10 to Y11.

you need to submit something and just show that u made an "effort" in your submission - if you submit a document with just one word and is not related, then you will get a N award alongside a zero mark

Year 9 and 10 are a very good time to figure out what study strategies work best for you. Do your best to pay attention in class, ask questions of the teach when you don't understand, and make notes; review these before exams, and do a few practice questions now and then.

You should try and figure this out pretty quickly and enforce some study strategies so that you learn the content.

iirc there's a certain threshold of how many N awards you can get before you're forced to repeat. I think it's 3? In all honesty considering you're more than half way through the year if you have so far not handed in any assignments at all for any subjects then most likely you will have to repeat, unless there is some extremely special circumstance in your situation that would give a good justification.

Yes IMO it's likely you will be. Although I can never say anything with 100% certainty, I have seen many people being forced to repeat in my school for scenarios similar to this one. Also rules can vary, it's much more stricter if you're going into year 11 or 12.

You need to consult your school as they will tell you what will happen. You should do that asap.

Rules vary between schools for this. You need to consult your school.

Just as a note though I think it's unlikely you'll be given the opportunity to make up for this. I know people who did get that but they had only skipped like 1 or 2 assignments, not all of them.

It's not the end of the world if you do repeat. Just make sure to not make the same mistakes!

I mean what were you expecting? Sounds a little harsh but seriously man completing assignments should really be the bare minimum. Unless you have some personal/family issues relating to inability to complete work then this predicament is really on you.

Understandable then. There's still plenty of time for you to catch up. I believe that if you have a civil conversation with the school/teachers about your situation, they'll be more than likely to encourage and support you. You can voice your fears about repeating and how current climates have hindered your ability to learn and that you still believe personally that you can achieve. Good luck with your studies :)

I feel like I should of been given a warning before actually been given an n (keep in mind im being told this by my parents and not from the teacher) but is it allowed to do that? and if its just a scare should i be able to go into yr 12 ?

No, you should not receive an N award if you have not previously received two written warnings, as per the following:

NESA requires TWO warnings for a student in order for an N determination to be made by the principal at the end of a course.
In most cases, even if you somehow receive an N award, you can still go into year 12 as long as your other subjects are not impacted, i.e. you are still able to progress and complete the HSC course of your other subjects. The N award would remove the subject in question from your transcript, which, depending on the number of units that you are taking, could impact your eligibility for the HSC/ATAR. I believe that the issue could become more substantial in terms of eligibility for the HSC/ATAR if the affected subject is English (especially if you are not taking anything higher than English Advanced).
