Is anyone else kinda terrified to go back to school? Ik HSC isn't the end of everything yada yada yada but it's also the biggest thing that you've done at this point in life yk? And also I've never not... been in the education system... Like I'll go to uni but that's not live breath eat sleep school in the same way that high school and primary is

Anyway living, laughing and loving. Can't wait to terrorize year 7s.

I go to a school that is only 11 and 12 (thank god), but I've volunteered to help out with the new year 11s tomorrow (y12 go back on friday). THERE ARE 340 Y11 STUDENTS STARTING TOMORROW.

definitely a little anxious to go back though

340?!? That's nearly half my school. Honestly seeing younger grades always makes my day and I feel like I'd feel too old in a y11/y12 only school. Ranking in there would also be a nightmare

We're on the same campus as a TAFE and uni so we never feel old. Its not a very competitive school and so some classes are quite small. e.g. y12 has like 220 people, MX1 has 14 people, English advanced has 95 or something. For year 11, there are 40 going into physics. Enrolment number usually drop by 20 or 30 in the first 4 weeks because they don't like some things about the school (mainly the 2 hour periods but we only get 3 a day)

2hr periods are a hellscape. I would leave too. I thought 1hr 20 was bad enough..

The only thing that's good about 2hr periods is that you can get through a load of content in one lesson. Some maths lessons we can get 4-5 subtopics done (questions included). Since we get so much time we basically get no homework (which is both good and bad as you have nothing that forces you to start studying other than personal motivation)

I'm not tik tok brain broken by any means but surely at about 1 and 30 mins of straight maths you just mentally check out

Some teachers are nice and give you a 5-10 minute break halfway through the lesson, others don't. Luckily I enjoy learning and am able to quite easily make it through lessons. (also probably helps some people prepare for 3 hour HSC exams as you already have to focus for 2 so you're 3/4 of the way there)

We definitely have some lessons where we're productive for like an hour and then devolve into talking so loudly amongst each other that the teacher a room over has to come and ask us to be quiet. The only other thing that's good for 2 hour periods is having a free period in the morning or afternoon. The school allows for a flexible timetable so you can leave at 1pm on a day you have a free in the afternoon when usually you would end at 4pm. Some people don't even have to come to school on friday because of having 2 free's in the morning (friday ends at 1pm)
