Agriculture - the fringe benefit of attending an agricultural high school.

All those junior years spent weeding plots and chasing sheep has to be good for something.

well...they do that at our school too.

In year 9, I watched my Ag teacher stick her arm into the cow to artificially inseminate it. That wasn't the worst bit - the worst bit was when the cow decided to 'relieve' itself while she was at it. That poor, soiled glove she wore.

This year, some students from another Ag class were 'permitted' to do the same.

Just another day on a mock-farm.

If you mean Ruse, Agriculture isn't compulsory in Year 11.

 

[kimmeh]

umm dont u have to do it if u enter year 11?
my friends entered hurlstone in yr 11 and ag is compulsory

 

[picaresque]

It's only compulsory yr. 7 to 10. I was in year 7 or 8 when compulsory Ag in year 11 was cancelled. However, you do the prelims in year 10. If you were to enter in yr 11 and start Ag, you would need to take classes with the grade below.

ohh so its a lil like accelration.. ouch though

 

[picaresque]

it's one of our very few accelerated subjects - so that's the only benefit i can see from doing Ag.

 

[kimmeh]

ahaha i seee
wjat are the other accelrated subs?

 

[picaresque]

The other's are IT, SDD and Music, which are actually taken as elective during year 9 and 10 ie. those who elect to do them have to sit HSC exams for their subject(s) in year 10.

hmm?

 

[KarmaKitten]

umm what does that mean? accellerated

 

[picaresque]

it means you start the hsc subject ahead of the rest of your peers ie. in year 9 or 10 and hence complete it earlier.
