Kurt's my number 1 op

Also I think he might accept y11 students? But it has to be either by the next entrance test or he won't let you in, I think he for sure doesn't accept Y12 students unless they've already been there since y11 or before
do you know when the the next entrance exam is?

I may be a dumbass, bc I have no idea what a depth study is yet all I know is we’re doing a depth study in groups of 3-4 and it’s due in week 9 or 10
Omg we have that as well, depth study is basically researching something for a long ass time I think, we have groups of 4 and we get marked off our results book

Help!
It's been two weeks of prelim already (the fact that Year 12 is in around 9-10 months is incomprehensible!) and I feel fine for most of my classes except biology, for which I have a bone to pick. Specifically, it's the teacher (but I do not want to unknowingly defame them so I need confirmation). The teacher has been very insistent on independent study (which I know is a requirement of senior studies) but I feel like the amount of 'independent' learning is completely inappropriate for a high school student, more so for a university student. What I mean is that the teacher is essentially making us learn the content ourselves. At the start of each lesson, they'll go through the PowerPoint (not explaining the content, mind you) and just tell us which slides to go through. Then, we are expected to go through it ourselves.

I know that studying independently is required but in my biology class it is like we are our own teachers. I NEED TO BE TAUGHT! For example, we were just going through the fluid mosaic model but we had to learn it ourselves. The teacher didn't even give an overview! I understand that learning content by yourself is beneficial but we aren't even being 'taught'. I really need a band 6 in biology (due to the excessively high ATAR requirement for a med interview nowdays) and we supposedly have a practical task on module 1 (any tips would be greatly appreciated).

Am I just delusional or is this something that I should address. What should I do?

Frrrr. I have a prac task in week 6 for all of the syllabus dot points of module 1, but we literally just started on actual biology stuff (spent the first two weeks on microscopes and scaling with biological drawings but my teacher is not even 'teaching' us istg).
