Free Period Time (2 Viewers)

[Trebla]

what the fuck are you guys on about?

LoL, you have yet to embrace the 'beauty' of complex numbers. You guys are going to cram the Extension 2 course in 2-3 terms whilst having to regularly revise the Extension 1 course so that you don't forget the stuff you learnt in Extension 1 for your exams. Man you guys at SBHS have to put up with 4-6 months with purely Extension 1 work and another 4-6 months doing solely Extension 2 work, while we do them simultaneously, so we have variation in our Maths work.

As for the free periods, man I envy you people. I do 12 units and I have no free periods other than early leave every Tuesday.

dont want to dissapoint myself

dont have a specific goal for the uai... some people think that having high goals are a good thing and that they help you to work harder to achieve what you want, i would rather try hard and do my own thing instead of having such expectations of myself

 

[xxshatteredxx]

Ive got about 3 hours a week free periods.

 

[arooshika...]

i use to have 15 50minutes of free periods every 2 weeks

I too am plagued by the mundanity of no free periods, no before school and no after school classes.

I am considering dropping a subject to amend that! Free periods slash late starts were a dream of mine since year 7.

 

[Riviet]

I get 5 45 min periods a week, 1 per day on average, which is pretty good for 12 units.

 

[luscious-llama]

daymn u guys already got timetables?
we havent even chosen our subjects for this term yet >.<
i'm def dropping photography. its the pits. i still havent learnt to develop film yet
*sighs*

Agreed there. The photography course at just about every school was not worth doing!!
I learnt alot...and got the top mark in the exam, 91% but the rest of my class got around..hmm..50-60s...argh..poor dears

I'm doing it in my visual arts major though.

As for free periods, I have, 2 most days except wednesday where i have history extension, 1pm-3pm (2 hrs during lunch and senior sport time)

Yeah I er...dropped photography (non UAI) and french beginners (because i just couldnt be bothered anymore) and took up history extension and english ext 2..

so yeah, i have, heaps of free periods and the sweetest flexible attendence monitoring ...thingo..(i swipe in and out...so i can come to school whatever time as one of my days starts at 12pm..)

18 free periods (some of them i just leave early or arrive later..) of 55mins each...
oh and one of them is a mentor lesson for ext2 eng


cherio

Might as well bump this thread up. I finally dropped engineering studies so that gives me 6 40 minute periods free. And apprently next year, I lose one period a week for all my subjects which have less then 10 people. I have 3 classes with less then ten people

So that means 9 free periods a week for me, if this is true. But i'll certainly try and get some study done in a few of them.

we have those swipey-cardy thing type substances as well...ours has lesson times programmed into it or something though so if ur late it can tell. but swipe cards are fun and make us look cooler

what do you mean?
They cut all small classes??

 

[Jimmy Pax]

what do you mean?
They cut all small classes??

I don't know if its just our school cause we are a smaller school, but yes the word is we lose a period for each class with under 10 people.

Or so i'm told...

If they cut your favourite subjects, then fight!

[Riviet]

Do you guys find that your free periods pass by really quickly? Because i certainly think time flies during these free periods. Maybe because i'm so intensely busy with my work. XD

 

[hopeles5ly]

i have 9 free periods and i often catch up on sleep during them lol.

 

[Jimmy Pax]

I don't get this Week A and B business...Are your timetables on a 2 week rotation?

And yes, my free periods seem to go pretty quickly, even when I do nothing in them

 

[Riviet]

I don't get this Week A and B business...Are your timetables on a 2 week rotation?

Yeah, most schools cycle through 2 weeks, as mine does too. Every now and again they might change the order of subjects we have each day.

 

[pLuvia]

Yeh, two weeks with changes in time between 1 or 2 subjects
