from what it sounds like, rankings in Maths are not always consistent.

oh... Baulkham Hills is second. haha North Sydney Girls is 3rd now. aww well, it's still in the top 10 anyway

Good question, because I'm aiming for 99+

If you are top 5 in all your subjects, then how come you are doing 2 unit Maths and Advanced English? :p

I'd advise you to do Modern History. In NSGHS, History is more fun than science. (personal opinion). Most girls here don't choose subjects with high scaling - subjects are chosen based on interests. Btw, I think the school has left a few spaces in each subject for new students, so dont worry...

Yeah, it's fair. The principal is doing it for your own good.

Exercise books for writing + display folder for worksheets.

Fair Enough. I can't wait to go to Canada! I'm so excited :D Anyone been there before? What's it like?

That's true. On the report of some Year 12's from NSGHS, there are some small assessments weighted 15%, but screwing one of these up can stuff up your final rank (but not essentially your uai) like big poop. Girl A beat Girl B in every single assessment by a few marks, but in the 15% assessment...

What's a good ranking? I reckon top 200 is a good rank.

How about students in Year 10 moving onto Year 11 next year? Would you be keen to help poor kids like us? :D

Re: Public School vs. Private Based on rankings, selective public beats private, but that is only because selective schools are taking in the brightest students in the state. Some private schools perform outstandingly well, in spite of the fact that some students aren't at the top of the...

Ruse does the same stuff we do, except at a faster pace. Some of the in-depth stuff we cover are sometimes from the HSC course too (well, the preliminary anyway) so I don't think James Ruse is the only school doing this. Sometimes the extra material is not tested in our exams anyway, therefore...

Dux got 100 UAI. School ranked second last year. Although that seems all wow and stuff, our achivements are still far from beating James Ruse.

Nope. I did that too, and so did many other people. You are allowed to draw diagrams in pencil.

hmmm... I'm not dreading my results, albeit, I'd really like to get all Band 6's.

at NSGHS, we still have to come to school and learn :(

NSGHS. We ranked second in the 2007 HSC! wooh! (but it's not like I'll be one of the 99 UAI kind of people)

ah okay. I think I'll type a note out to inform the school. But still... I hope there is a strike!

I have heard various rumours that there is going to be a strike on the first two days of school (2009). These rumours seem to be confirmed here: http://www.solidarity.net.au/web/nsw-teachers-plan-48-hour-strike-in-january-09/ :D Has anyone else heard anything about this? I am worried because I...
