educational access scheme (1 Viewer)

[sped_kid01]

does anyone know anything about the 'educational access scheme'? i live about 50km away from my school and the bus trip is an 1hr and a 1/2...would i be eligible? cheers

 

[funniboi]

i dunno about that.

but i applied for that.

reasons are like
- family member died recently
- financil problems
- etc etc.

and, its a disadvantage for me, cause i goto "canley vale high school" so i can apply for just going to that shcool.
cool yeh?

yeah, travelling extensively is a valid reason for applying for educational access scheme. dont know how far away/how long to travel it has to be - why not ask ur careers advisor? its their job 2 know and the worst that can happen is that they migt say ur not eligible!

i hate collecting evidence for different reasons. its fubar

but i guess it has to be proven

 

[dark`secrets]

yups like the confidential statement,
im like errrrrr..

ahahah there is one where you have to draw a house plan.

i just found it very uncomfortable collecting evidence about my grandmothers death this yr

 

[dark`secrets]

hmm im sorry to hear about that.

but it is pretty weird collecting information and have it verified.

sped_kid has it actually impacted your education though?? or are you just looking for a way to get bonus points. im putting because i go to a rural school - anyone who goes to a rural school can if it meets the requirements, but mine is actually crap, and other...personal reasons...but really, you're going to have to prove it's impacted your learning.

there's an entire thread on this somewhere in the...uac or hsc marking boards, i cant remember, but have a look through there, it tells you everything you need to know.

there was no1 at the uts mini lecture about eas- i left after i got my answer questioned

i didnt like the lady- something about her

Yes collecting evidence is Poo..
One of my friends is applying for the "crowded house" thingo, he shares a room with his brother in year 7 (who is an absolute genius and is 10x smarter than him) and apparently he has to provide a floor plan/schematic of the house?

I wish i could consider my Jack Russell as a brother sharing my room... he annoys me enough!

 

[Misturi]

What about having a sibling who has autism?

 

[thejosiekiller]

thats a good question

probably could- id look into it.

Yes, if you spend significant time stressing about them and/or looking after them.

no its not bshit- it actually helps ppl who havent had the best yr during the hsc. ppl think that sometimes when they go seeking xtra uai points.
