That is precisely what I mean, Cheltenham only used the English catholic paper, nothing else...so I don't know why our internally written exams affect the rest of the state.helper said:
In terms of terminating the providing of CSSA papers to Cheltenham, I doubt that anyone at Cheltenham would want to touch another CSSA paper after this mistake.

half the stuff the media said wasnt true. its sad the way the media portrayed us.
it really does hurt to see them say things like that about us.
they went on about how it caused students stress because they had to do it again, but what about us who have to put up with all the comments? ive had 3 or 4 people already have a go at me and i didnt do anything except sit the exam.

the media i presume is just looking for another story, and this time, the popular majority is out of favour for cheltenham girls, and thus the school is portrayed so.
it's such a shame, but we'll stand strongly together and get through this, teachers and students. and we'll cane the hsc too. *touchwood*
TRUTH UNITY CONCORD!!

extracts of relevant parts of the ch7 story...
Anchor: Students at four sydney high schools will be forced to sit a trial HSC exam beacuse of a bungle that could have given them advance knowlege of the questions. But those effected say they are being penalised for a teacher's mistake
Reporter: Most of the state sits the exams on the same day, starting last Monday. But Cheltenham Girls high school somehow jumped the gun
STUDENT: " I think cheltenham admin has alot to answer for"
Reporter: Somehow the Cheltenham girls sat two english exams and the aural music exam a couple of days early" The Cssa who sets the exams calls this a very serious breach.
Reporter: The DET says there is no problem. Chgs changed the questions and none of the questions left the exam room.
But [four schools] are making their students sit all or part of the exams
STUDENT: The dates they are scheduled on are in the middle of a heap of major works"
REPORTER: The education department says this is little than an inconvienience, its just more good practise for students getting ready for the real thing. But try telling that to them.
STUDENT "Yeah you know, its just a load of crap"

the only revlevent part of the chan 9 story:
"really really annoying" - by my mate Sam, loitering in front a his car like some 80s American high school student. classic.
Nd some random shot of a year 11 kid walking with books.

yesssss haha.. sam vs iemma
either way, both news reports highlight what we already know cheltenham sucks, and rofl at the girl who said "but we'll stand strongly together and get through this", do you feel your integrity has been compromised?? haha

and if the board only thinks it's an inconvinence and good practise, good for them. they can send a representative, preferably an ex-english teacher to sit my exam (if i have to redo it), because frankly i don't need the pressure/stress/anxiety/"practise" of another exam worth 30%.
Again with the personal attacks. I don't see how personal attacks will make any difference. There is no need to personally attack and abuse individual girls. This is unfair and also hurtful. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but there is no need to express them if they are aimed to hurt people.SSaint said:
First Hand
Thankyou to the one person who stook up for the students. Its not our fault that we did the ppr early, we werent even told that it was the catholic paper! and im gonna add shit to the fire and say that before anyone goes on saying that it was only guys schools who have to redo the test, u can shove that you arragant sexist pig! have u never heard of carlingford?? And the rumors going around our school is that it was actually someone at Normanhurst BOYS who put the questions on the internet, after someone told from our school.
And we dont all run around basing our actions on what would impress guys and get us married, what world exactly do you think we live in, Jane Austen's time??
You try getting harrased by the media and everyone your age in sydney about somthing that you had no control over then see how you feel about it...
I can tell you first hand that MS Marshal (yes she is a woman for that person who has written the letter, maybe you should do a little more research first) appologises to everyone, and she is being investigated by the board, along with numerous other staff members, so dont think that heads aren't rolling over here. And it was ONLY the english paper that was a "breach", nothing else was released b/c the other pprs that we do are made by our teachers, we generally dont use catholic papers for the other subjects.
I feel for all the ppl who have to redo sections of the trial, and it does suck majorly, but mistakes do happen and its up to the board to fix it now. i no its all very well for me to say this b/c i dont have to redo it, but i no plenty of ppl who do. And if u have studied, its more practice for you for the HSC and it will help you learn your material better, come the actual HSC.
