mixand Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 today i was told i could do my high school certificate now (im in year 9, 14yo) i was kinda scared when they told me that :? but i decided to do it because it would be good for my grades so decided to do it. i done it today after school(i just got home.) everyone was year 12 except me thats why i was kinda scared :oops: but it was allot better then i expected and my teacher was a nerd/geek(in a good way : ) like me. we didn't have to do much today, we just built some computers and installed them with an operating system of out choice. (i picked Ubuntu) we just have to put a power point presentation of us doing it with pictures. its fun:) anyone else doing extra stuff for school? edit:.. i forgot to say what subject it was lol its i.t "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel AdamsMy new site. [bETA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Accelerated courses aren't exactly a new concept. We had several at my school, and it tends to lead to more favourable HSC results, seeing as how you only have to study for eight units during your HSC year rather than ten. The two units you accelerate are ideally done in the years where nothing you do actually matters, like year 9, 10 and 11. And when I was still in high school, I did a bunch of extracurricular stuff. Music, fencing, football... Varrock Library: Shattered Sky | Silent Thunder | The Emperor's FinestAstri @ MythWeavers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celt23 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I definitely would do something like that if I had a choice. I did extra biology and science in elementery. I did some essays on nautiluses and herrerasauroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kido14 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I can't say I understood what you said. Based on other people's responses, are you saying that you got put into 12th grade even though you're 14? I'm way confused.

Based on other people's responses, are you saying that you got put into 12th grade even though you're 14? I'm way confused. No, the idea is that one of the subjects he would have taken in years 11 and 12 are now taken during years 9 and 10, thereby freeing up time in the later grades to devote to other units. The way subject selections in years 11 and 12 are handled in NSW is that each particular elective is assigned a unit value. In order to complete the preliminary year (11), a student must complete a minimum of 12 units. Of these, two units of English (either general or advanced) are mandatory. In the HSC year (12), a minimum of 10 units must be completed, again with two units of English compulsory. When a subject is accelerated, it must be within five years of the HSC's completion in order to count towards it. This way, you can do, say, modern history - which has a value of two units - in years 10 and 11, and only have to do effectively eight units in year 12. Great if you're planning on doing subjects that have absurd workloads for their unit values - such as extension courses, which have unit values of one but enough workloads for most two unit courses.

WutangFlu Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Sort of... i was in a class with ONE other person and we worked on the schools website... updating calendars and weekly events and such... we both got paid 35$ actually after 2qtrs. of boring work... also i help design logos when some of the sports/academic teams order shirts or anything like that. Dont get anything for it, but its nice to see people walking around with something you designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
