This past year I've been lacking in most of these... :uhoh: Hopefully for year twelve I'll be able to turn off the distractions and actually do my best (which people keep telling me ought to be much better than I'm doing).

I, for one, am very glad that there are people like -may-cat- still hanging around Bored of Studies. I'm dropping maths next term - I was only doing General and I wasn't even doing that good. I think I should be able to do better with a lighter workload (and it looks like my French Extention...

Yeah, the gist of it anyways :P. I'll tell you now, this site has been a lifesaver! :angel: I think I've found my new online forum for the year, if anyone cares :P

(2) If I were to choose between Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Québec City, I'd go with Québec City without a second thought. It's such a cultural and history-rich city, and, if you're looking to practice your French, it's got the most to offer you. Montreal is about 40% French, 30%...

(1) Yep, Mom's Canadian and Dad's Australian, so I'm both. And I think it's cool that you thought I was from Australia. Most people give me funny looks and go "Say 'roundabout'". They then laugh because apparently I say 'Roundaboot' :P I didn't come from Toronto, but I've been there a few...

Bye Year 11. I'm with most of you - now I can't bludge. I Honestly do think I can do much better in year 12 than year 11 - this year was a horrible year for me study-wise, probs worst ever. But year 12, geeze, I'm both scared and totally ready for it at the same time. Good luck everyone!!

Hey now! That woman sounds a lot like my Year 6 teacher, and she was from a different part of Canada - that accent sounds NORMAL to me. :P I'm beginning to get a little nervous about this Extention course. It makes up one of my 10 units, so no chance in dropping it. And yes, I'm one of those...

Yes, that's probably me. I don't play hockey (my little brother does, though) and I did say something about Canadians, (or at least this Canadian taking learning French for granted.

I'm feeling the same - 'cept I already went and signed up for the class. My main reasoning was that I was finding Continuers to be far too easy, so how much harder could extension be? *headdesk* I do have a lot of background in French - though every teacher I speak to tries to correct my...

Il y a une manque de docteurs et de services infirmières au Canada en ce moment, si t'aime la froid. En été le paysage est toujours très exceptionnelle. J'adorait toujours visiter le Québec lorse que j'habitait en Ontario. En plus, avoir l'anglais comme langue maternelle t'aidera beaucoup à...

My school is 387th out of 908 :P. Let's hope we go up this year...

I think I'm ready for year 12. I've finally figured out the NSW education system, and I have resolved not to miss as much school this time around as I did in year 11 (no trips back to Canada in the middle of term, though my friends over there are trying to convince me otherwise). I am scared...

Hey, look! There's a thread for my year group about this! Teach me to post before checking for more suitable threads... Copy/pasted from another Pip thread:

I've been thinking about this one, too. Since I pretty much failed my SGP, I figured I need to get a head start on the PIP if I want to do well. The one idea that I've had is exploring the cultural differences found in Westernized countries. Such as comparing Australia with Canada and possibly...

Wow, thanks for that! I think I understand now. (And yes, should be stickied).

I am probably breaking pretty much every rule with these questions (wrong board, wrong section, etc.) and I'm sorry. But I have a lot of questions and no one seems to be able to answer them. I apologize in advance for TL;DR I moved from Canada (where I have lived all my life) to Australia in...
