    kurt's entrance test

    Lol you got this. Good luck. I didn't even know you had to bring your own stationery to the entrance test so I had to ask around for a pen before the exam started. You're much more prepared than I was. You'll do well.

    kurt's entrance test

    OK i go to kurt right now & I remember him saying a few years ago that he primarily eliminates junior students off obvious blunders Like not knowing how to expand (a+b)^2 in year 7 Don't know whether that's still true or not but I also found the entrance exam really tough when I first sat it...

    3 sciences or 2 sciences + eco for year 11

    2 sci + eco so you dont get inundated with (sometimes overlapping depending on school) depth studies

    Should I pay an Indian to do my eco homework?

    I will do your eco homework for $93.6 and scan/email to you before school starts. If it is actually piss boring I am expecting a $10 tip. Not Indian tho but can guarantee high quality work.

    Alternative Viva Voce Formats

    The vodcast sounds like a good idea though, if you don’t like the presentation part of a speech maybe you could ask to do an interview + run thru your logbook instead of making slides which is how the Viva was conducted at my school…

    School and LGBT

    A lot of people in this thread mention "confusion" as something which a) is a side effect of increasing rates of LGBTQ+ awareness and b) has negative impacts upon development. I personally would rather be confused than repressed, facing self-loathing and living in fear — something many queer...

    School and LGBT

    It's cos the rhetoric is usually "LGBTQ hypersexual, therefore we should not expose children to their influences" I skipped a few points to anticipate that argument If that's not your point of view, I'd like to know why you think this topic has no place in schools

    School and LGBT

    Also specifically in regards to schools - there is definitely a discrepancy between regions. I think broadly speaking the closer people live to the Sydney CBD, the more open they are to the queer community. Have you ever seen Surry Hills... pride flags everywhere. I've also heard some of the...

    School and LGBT

    so by this definition - mentions of heterosexual relationships should also be banned in schools? Would be so glad to have half my ext 1 texts removed from the syllabus honestly. I think it's worth noting that a lot of points within this discussion derives from US politics, which we all know to...

    School and LGBT

    Some people hold certain values and religious beliefs which promote the exclusion of women from education, and may be uncomfortable with sharing workplaces with women. Not to make an ad-hominem attack, but judging by the information displayed on your profile, you are most likely a woman who is...

    School and LGBT

    Don't you think that using the preferred pronouns for someone is upholding your "intrinsic attitude of appreciation and care for others" by validating their personal identity? Individuals respecting (by your definition) other individuals does not necessarily need to be a political act unless you...

    School and LGBT

    You've essentially said that "respect" has to be earned and built instead of mindlessly validated, which in itself I agree with. However, there are many individuals in our lives (cisgender or otherwise) who have not earned any form of respect from us. Yet we still use the preferred pronouns of...

    Has anyone received an acceptance notice for the edutest for Baulko or Jr?

    schools usually hv a buddy system & transfer mentoring programs, so you won't need to do it on ur own personally at top 2~ schools (since this thread is asking baulko and/or ruse) there definitely are slackers but most people will push you to study - you wont need to specifically go looking for...

    Has anyone received an acceptance notice for the edutest for Baulko or Jr?

    yes it is!!! there's no reason for it to be different for any other year - in fact, you'd think that schools would logically have tighter regulation for y11 given theres much less time to adapt to changes, catch up with the workload and socially acclimatise on top of everything else. yes, i am...
