lol i never sed there was anything bad with public schools, been going to them all my life, just saying i think thats the only condition...i cant remember too much about the scholarship anymore, i think it goes to 100 or 140 students.....i hope i get it (considering i gotta study 6 hours for a 30 mins interview!) but knowing my luck i wont, then we have to wait till the 19th of December to find out if we get it or not........neone else know wen we get told if we got early entry or not?

Hey, some of my preferences are for courses for that too! About 4 of them, the rest are for art teaching in high school.

im so peeved i didnt know about this, they should make it easier to find out about these things. ><

I got an interview too - except I'm going for the hippy subjects: English with History or Drama. In fact, I'd rather be a primary school teacher - but they do't offer scholarships for that field.

Darkprince: Whats this about studying six hours for a 30minute interview? The lady never told me about doing research for the interview!!

I applied for one, but I haven't got called yet. I thought they said they weren't calling till like, the 12th or something? I dunno. Anyway, What subjects did u apply for, and where did u say u would teach? I applied for English/History, teaching in either Bankstown, Fairfield or Granville. Couldn't bare to put "anywhere in the state". Maybe that's affected who they've called so far?
