Then: Archaeologist, Journalist, Writer Now: Engineer, maybe an Accountant or Actuary if engineering doesn't work out

Well done everyone, such amazing ATARs :)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand my school has dropped even further to the early 200s

I read just as I got off a two hour Osu! binge ahahah Thank you all, this advice is gold!

This doesn't apply to me since I'm doing extension, but I always hear from teachers and students at my school that 'It's better to top Standard than to do mediocre in Advanced!'. I was just wondering how much truth there is to the statement. And I'm not talking about coming last in Advanced...

Thank you all very much, I have some idea of how I'm going to plan next year now :) I'm going to take advantage of studying at lunch time and in the mornings at school. Thank you again!

I'm looking for some advice regarding how people balanced school, work, and after school activities during Year Eleven, especially if they have to travel for school like I do. I have a casual job which I have no desire to leave, and I also have one after school activity one night a week, with...

I think my school is only notifying people who are leaving in Year 10 about their RoSA and the grades, is anyone else's school doing this? And thanks guys, I figured it didn't count :)

Is it counted over all of your 7-10 schooling? It seems rather unfair that I'll end up with a crappy mark for maths because I didn't start trying in the subject until year nine in this case :/

My school is finishing tomorrow and not one word has been uttered about the ROSA????

I live in Sydney, but when HSC comes around I'll have Monash down as one of my options, purely because mining engineering is not a widely offered university course. The only universities in NSW that offer it are UNSW, UOW, and Newcastle as part of a transfer scheme.

This is brilliant, thank you! :)

I was wondering if anyone has been an Au Pair overseas, as I am considering doing this between the end of year 12 and beginning of university. I'm just wondering if anyone has done this before, and experiences with being an Au Pair :)

That is greatly appreciated, there is going to be a fair bit of change by the looks of it.

Thank you both for the confirmation

I could not agree more with a strong maths foundation needing to start in primary school. I was never good at maths in Primary school, and my primary school was particularly terrible when it came to mathematics-lots of students struggled, which meant if not only did they have to cope with new...

I'm sure we discussed this on another thread, but I'm in the same boat; I did 5.1 and 5.2 in Year Nine and 5.3 in Year Ten. Engineering here we come! Back on topic, at my school they don't let anyone who isn't doing quite well in 5.3 do extension 1, let alone 5.2/5.1 students. They don't like...

I have been hearing from teachers at my school that the syllabus is changing for English, starting next year. I was just wondering if this was true, and how much it's going to affect English Advanced and Extension if it is?

My friend just got a job at Hungry Jacks and it says in their training that they're allowed to have relationships with other workers, just not the manager :P

I am starting Year Eleven next year and I am looking for a tutor for Mathematics and Mathematics Extension in the Liverpool area, preferably private tutoring but small groups is fine. Please PM me if you can help :)
