1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
Hi! I'm currently in Year 10 and about to choose my subjects for Year 11 & 12. I am thinking of choosing the following subjects but I'm not sure whether it is is a good combination:
Society and Culture ( accelerated - will be sitting my HSC in Year 11 )
English Advanced
Maths Advanced
Maths Extension 1
Physics
Biology
Chemistry

Welcome aboard, sania! How did you come across ATAR Notes? :)

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
- Year 11 VCE, General Maths, Computing, Health and Human Development, Physical Education, Psychology, and English
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
- I do not hate a movie at the moment.
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
- An infinity gauntlet with all the stones in place, makes my life easier
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
- I just want a job, an IT person I guess
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
- I'm an actual FOB who moved from PH a year ago, I hope I fit in here well. Life back was pretty terrible, since I did not watch over my studies, now that I came here I wanted to focus on my life more now since I will not go anywhere without getting a degree or something

Nice one! Great to have you here. :) Nice subject mix - have you checked out our forums for each of those subjects?

Thank you! A bit late to reply to this, but might as well!
My favourite at the moment is probably either Psych, or HHD.
My Year 7 self is fuming right now, but I'm getting sick of photography already lol

No stress! Psych and HHD were two of my favourites, too - nice choices. ;D

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)

year 12. Bio, chem, english, methods, french, P.E 2018

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)

Truman show - had to do it in year 9 and got so sick of it

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
I'm a year 12 student doing Legal Studies, PDHPE, Biology, Standard Mathematics & Advanced English :^0

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
I'm not going to question why this question was made mandatory but ok. I don't watch a lot of movies apart from horror but if I had to pick a movie I hate with a passion, it would be Captain Marvel. Idk y 100% but her personality annoyed me so much. Also the movie ruined Nick Fury for me like why?

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
I've thought about this question a lot in my free time and its a tie between a hand gun or a katana.
A hand gun would be my ideal weapon because I prefer to be on a range attack and it would let me avoid close range encounters. It's also pretty easy to hide and store on your body. The trouble is that they would be hard to find and I would have to restock on bullets. On the other hand, a katana would be so badass but I feel like I would accidentally cut my arm off or some shit. Also the blood would cause rust and it would eventually become blunt.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
Damn this really b making me think deep. Ummm, I want to be the best version of myself as possible. I want to work hard, become qualified, get a good job and start a family someday. I also want to grow more as a person and find new things about me.

5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Tbh my life is pretty boring, being asian means that I have no social life because my parents say no to everything. I feel like I've improved grade wise from when I first started High-school. My love life is a mess but that normal for me. I think I've spent a lot of my free time watching Netflix, drawing and reading, not that interesting.

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects?
I am in year 11 this year and subjects are English, General Mathematics, Italian, Chemistry, Biology, Health and Human Development and Religious Education (compulsory at my school

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification.
I hate all horror movies. I don't understand how people could get a thrill out of watching them.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice?
Probably a gun of some sort as I can shoot.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve?
I want to be someone who you can come to for advice, someone who helps everyone no matter what. I am aspiring to be a pediatrician so I can help children. Incorporating my love of helping, medicine and children. 

5. If you had to summarize your life in a paragraph, what would you say?
Unfortunately, I do not have a very good life. I battle mental health issues which can affect all aspects of my life. I have also moved a lot of times and this has affected me each and every time. Once I get attached to people, I really get attached which can be a downfall. I give people too many chances, even if I know they don't deserve them. I pride myself on my school work though and always put lots of effort into them. I put lots of pressure on myself because I aspire to be my best always.

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
Currently undergoing Year 12; studying English, Math Methods, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, 35 in Psych from last year.

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
It's gotta be Eragon; after reading what was a great book, the movie in comparison was dismal, and frankly it was worthy of contempt.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Lightsaber, duh. Otherwise a machete would be pretty neat.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
I would like to strive for medicine, but I'll land where I do. Maybe go travelling later on.

5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
People say I have a 'judging look'... otherwise pretty standard life so far.

Thanks, yeah I have heard bad things about the Percy Jackson movies. At the moment probably English or Chemistry are my favourites, physics is the worst tbh, but thats because we covered motion first  ;D Oh and Psychology was fun.

Hi, i'm currently in year 11 right now and i'm studying Advanced math, Advanced English, chemistry, physics, Ancient History, Design and Tech and 1 unit Studies of Religion.  :o
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
Most passionately hate? Well, I have yet to see a movie that I dislike. I don't really watch movies, I'm more of a TV show/series person.

I don't know, i guess a sword or something sharp.  ???
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
I think i just want to be as good as a person could be. I know it sounds cringe but I really just want to do good to others. i'd say i want achieve a decent mark in the HSC and just get through high school.
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Pretty boring, I haven't actually achieved anything so far but I would say that my life is alright.  :-\

It's certainly alright! :)

Your subjects seem like a good selection (I'm a science person), was SoR required by your school?

 Wanting to be a good person isn't cringe at all (to me, at least). I also want to be a good person, which for me means following my values (my core ones are empathy & determination), but I know lots of people have 'being a good person' manifest in different ways (eg specific to career, particular causes... ). Do you have any guidance for yourself on how to be a good person or is it more focused on just acting how you think is right in any given moment?
(Feel free not to answer if too personal btw)


Completely disagree about you not having achieved anything so far,  you've made it to this point and you'll have had a bunch of experiences where you don't know (yet) how unique they are - even just helping someone prep for their physics test is something :) - but I guess it's your call to make. 


Big welcome to the forums; it's great to have you here :)

Hi guys I'm new here. Not really sure if I'm using this right but I'm currently in Year 12 and taking Society and Culture as a subject. This of course means doing a Personal Interest Project (PIP), so if you are reading this could you please take 5 min to do my survey for my PIP. I need a variety of respondents. Unfinished responses are still appreciated if the survey seems too long. Thank you!

Hey there,

Welcome to the forums! I just completed your questionnaire.

Just letting you know that there is a thread in the Society and Culture board where you can post your questionnaire. Another resource I'd recommend is the Society and Culture Resources Thread where you can get an overview on what kind of resources we offer here.

Hope you find the forums useful and good luck with your PIP :)

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
Year 11 studying English, Maths Methods, Biology, Psychology, OES, and History.
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
Every Fast and Furious movie after number 5 because 3 was too many.
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
My teeth, I can't run so I'm basically already a zombie and zombies use their teeth.
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
I want to be somebody else. And I say this not in the way that I hate myself but dislike some personal behaviours. I have a wonderful habit of procrastination and distraction but not nearly enough self control to break these habits.
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
I've spent most of my life not giving a damn about my schooling or results, and didn't hand in probably 50% of my assignments. I'm probably seen as a math head and have a sometimes incredible memory but if I had to say who I am in one sentence. I generally live to care about and for others, and rarely put myself first. I won't study for myself but if someone needs help with their study, guess who's there.
Spoiler alert
don't look
Dumb, male, and ready to fail.

Just a really chilled person that has an unnatural obsession with chocolate. I love to do photography every once in a while and at the same time, you can find me hunched over a computer trying to edit a photo late at night.
