A lot sources have suggested the film, March of the Penguins as a text. It looks pretty interesting and I think it could be a great text but I'm having difficulty understanding how it fits into the concept of 'belonging' or not belonging. Can anyone help me out?

Consider if you think you can make the time for two major works since both Visual Arts and English Ext 2 have that. Do you think you can fit other class work around it?

Um I've only bought a couple of textbook so that's prob $200. Two of them were school one's but I just didn't want to carry them back and forth xD I don't really like tutoring so.. yeah.

Well I think the "naturally smart" kids are so used to getting good marks with little effort, that when the HSC comes around, they're still not used to putting in more work. The HSC does require a proper effort and that is where they might slip up! Haha yeah, agreed. We differentiate between...

What do you think of: Ext 2 English Ext 1 Maths Economics Chinese

Ext 2 Eng Ext 1 Maths Chinese Cont Economics 11 units =]

I agree. It's very unfair how many true background speakers make it into continuers. However there are lots of Chinese kids who grow up in Australia and have very poor Chinese as it is. Some can't even speak Chinese before doing the course. Background speakers is a very difficult course...

I thought Year 6 was the best. Older than the rest of the kids, but not 'old' because there still all those high school kids above you. And it was still primary school which meant the work was cinch. High school wise, Year 10 probably. By then we get to pick electives and all that but...

Re: What UAI are you aiming for? I'm aiming for the high 90s, around 97+ because of the uni courses I want to get into. I guess I'd be relatively satisfied with 95+ though.

Last time I checked, 163cm

Ah, well we have to fill in a form for it. It's all very troublesome =/ Mmm haha, unfortunately all my admins keep telling me "they'll look into it" "get back to you", etc, etc. I've heard that they'll let us know by the end of this week though, so let's hope that's try! Ah yeah, but Chinese...

Hey, Has anyone currently in Year 11 [i.e. doing HSC in 2009] found out if they're elligible for Chinese continuers/stuck with Background Speakers next year? My school gave in our forms ages ago but we still haven't heard. We're handing in our subject selection forms for Year 12 in a month...

Ah I wrote something about sizing and fashion once. Well basically my opinion is this. We have vanity sizing and all that. Size 0 in stores often won't even really be a size 0 anyway. US Size 0 is an Australian Size 4. It's possible to be an AUS size 4 without health problems, if you have a...

It's amazing how poor some people's maths skills are. I'm talking about simple checkout addition. Compulsory maths sounds like a good idea.

I talked to my English teacher today. She asked me about my marks. I'm ranked 15th so she said I could do Ext 1. I asked about Ext 2 and she asked how I went in my Ext 1 Exam [she marked them]. We wrote a short story for that. I got 9/10 and she was like, "Oh I must have been impressed...

Ooh ok. I go to a selective school but we've only talked about Ext 1 right now. Our teachers are pretty down to earth about subject selection and make sure we're choosing something we're capable of or genuinely interested in. I'll talk to my English teacher about it tomorrow. Sigh, I'm...

Ooh, Ext 2 really sounds amazing. I like the idea of having so much freedom in what we study. Well time management and all that is a bit of a problem for me so I'm not sure if I could handle both Ext 2's. Thanks for the post :) I think I really will give Ext 2 a try! Oh I HATE that sort...

Haha wow! Well never mind not doing well in advanced if you topped Ext 1 and 2! Congrats on that :D Yeah, I will probably take English Ext 2 as an extra unit next year... I'm not sure if I want to take Maths Ext 2 as well though and I'd rather not take them both! I've emailed one of my past...

Ohh.. I don't know how it works at my school, whether we have a selection process or what. I haven't heard much about Ext 2 at my school. I know we have 6 Ext 1 classes and only 2 Adv classes though... Hehe, I can't say my English results are very consistent. When I enjoy the area of study...

Oh I see I see. Yes thank you! Your post was very informative. Ext 2 sounds challenging but I'm very interested now!
