If you read the thread, you'll know why it wasn't possible. (It's illegal and there was insufficient data released) Rankings are fairly meaningless and unreliable past the top 100 anyway.

School rankings are completely unofficial and are calculated AFTER a cohort's results are released. It has absolutely no bearing on the calculation of your marks.

Ask about Gonski review and how much of a failure the education revolution has been. (She won't actually answer any question of substance though. You'll get a non answer full of fluff)

Questions being censored? Disgusting.

Wow, this is big. @ElizabethJByrne: A Queensland man has won his high court challenge to the Commonwealth's funding for school chaplaincy programs.

Sick of teachers striking. An elected government rightfully sets education policy, not unions. If they don't like it then they should participate in the political process like everybody else instead of holding the state to ransom so they can dictate policy.

It only operated during the HSC exam period, so it's unsurprising many of you haven't yet heard of it.

You apply for a leave of absence. They are almost always approved. If you don't enrol in any uos your place at the uni will lapse and you'll have to reapply through UAC.
