I'm definitely not excited to go back to school! I have only just started to feel relaxed ahhh.
I'm doing English, Chemistry, Methods and Food Studies.
Chemistry is what I am looking forward to the most, as it seems the most interesting. Food studies is not too far behind it though.
Super nervous about methods. I can't remember anything from 1/2 (which I barely did), and I didn't do any prep for it over the holidays.

Who's keen for going back to school?Haha, nope! I'm very much enjoying my break and I still have a lot more things I would like to do. But alas, school is quickly approaching. At least I have until the 3rd! ;D

Your answers don't have to be subject-specific, for example, I'm also super excited about school sports, not because I am sporty but because its my last one!What's fun about the last school sports? Are there special things for Year 12s to do?
We are in the same boat. Except I did do 1/2 (as in ever question the teacher set) but Im even further behind than people who just showed up to class😂. I went over quadratics and thats it.....good luck to us!
3/4 Bio (whoop whoop), Literature, Food Tech (another massive plus), Chemistry, Methods and SpeshOooo, did you end up switching to food studies 1/2? What made you change from texts and traditions?

Hey J_Rho!
My subjects are Chemistry, English, French, Methods and Specialist. I am most excited for chemistry as the content looks so interesting and the Heinemann textbook is beautiful to read. I am also super excited for the carnivals and just in general being the oldest year level (yay, free periods!).
I am most nervous for French, it just seems impossibly difficult and I feel like anyone who gets 40s in this subject must like a super genius from a different planet :o
No.
Just kidding (not really). I'm doing English, methods, bio and chem. I'm excited for every subject except chemistry. I'm also excited for formal and year 12 camp.
My subjects are Spec/Chem/Art/English/Physics.That's an awesome spread of subjects, what events are you looking forward to most?
I'm excited because its Year 12, its my last year of school, and because of that, there are a lot of exciting events and activities to look forward to. Also my subjects seem interesting this year.
I'm most nervous about Spec/Chem, as they're pretty annoying subjects for me to grasp.
I guess I'm somewhat keen on going back to school. Not excited, but just accepting the fact that school starts soon.
I'm looking forward to school and getting back into the rhythm of it too :)Yes! Getting back into the rhythm of school again is so GOOD! I love the holidays but hate that you lose the 'rhythm' of things
I am doing HSC not VCE though and my subjects are:
✔Maths Advanced
✔English Advanced
✔Physics
✔Biology
✔IPT
✔SOR 1
I'm excited to start my study timetable I have created too😁
Sort of looking forward to going back to school, especially to see my friends again!Whats PDT? Where are you going for yr 12 camp? I can definitely relate to not wanting to wake up early!
My subjects this year are PDT, English, Methods, Chemistry and Physics. The stuff I'm looking forward to is our Year 12 camp/jackets, Melb Uni's VCE Physics lectures and just doing PDT/Methods. What I'm nervous about pretty much applies to all my subjects, but it's doing alright/well during the year and then stuffing up at end of year exams.Definitely not looking forward to waking up early though

Yeah, I'm super excited for school! I'm excited to finish Year 12, our final year of schooling, and go to university and venture into the big world! It's scary and exciting at the same time.Do you have a favorite subject? What do you want to do at uni? Oh yeah that would be difficult if the exams are an hour apart 😫
My subjects are Literature, Psychology, Specialist Maths and Chemistry. I'm most excited about seeing my capabilities for my different subjects and how well I do and whether my mindset towards study actually changed. If it did, I want to see if it worked!
I'm nervous about the final exams. for all my subjects :o
I think I'm most nervous for Specialist Exam 2 and Literature because in the past years, the exams have been one hour apart from one another and so there's a good chance it'll be the same this year. And, they're the subjects I find the hardest so...yeah.
But, it's okay. I'll have the whole year to master my skills! ;D
Haha, nope! I'm very much enjoying my break and I still have a lot more things I would like to do. But alas, school is quickly approaching. At least I have until the 3rd! ;D

I've actually been really suprised by how much I am enjoying chemistry. It's been really good. So far food tech has been a little dissapointing; I think because I'm surrounded by people who couldn't care less about school or doing well, but I'm enjoying the cooking and the content is bearable. Every time I open my maths books, a little more of my soul dies. I'm not sure why, but solving sets of four simultaneous equations for four variables using elimination (by hand) just feels like a waste of trees. Like a big waste of trees.
Seeing my friends when I go back to school.
A new year with new teachers. (I think I'm really going to like my lit teacher.)
Finally being a VCE student. Although that also makes me nervous.
Youth group and debating starting up again.
Making bomb school lunches.
Struggling to make my energy stretch everywhere I want/need it to.
What's fun about the last school sports? Are there special things for Year 12s to do?
I'm doing 3/4 Methods, and 1/2 Bio, English, Aus+Global Politics, Indonesian and Chem.What are you doing for the school production? What subject is your favourite? Surely school captain isnt decided by your peers/popularity?
I'm pretty excited about having spare periods and being in the school production.
I'm nervous about Methods because it's not like I did great last year and I have to it through Webex. I'm doing one of my subjects through VSV and I haven't heard many positive things about it. I also want to go for School Captain but I'm not very popular sooo... yeah.
Do you have a favourite subject? What do you want to do at uni? Oh yeah that would be difficult if the exams are an hour apart 😫Hmm, probably Literature despite it being my most difficult subject. Psychology is a close second. The goal is Medicine at Monash! :D

Thats so cool! Has Medicine always been your goal?Yeah, I don't think I can imagine myself doing anything else. Also, it's a wide field so there's lots of options in terms of specialisation! This is really far ahead but I'm particularly interested in obstetrics! That would be sweet! ;D
Mine probably would have to be Legal, juuuust beating Further

This is really far ahead but I'm particularly interested in obstetrics! That would be sweet! ;DThat's so cool! Is there a particular reason you're interested in obstetrics? My interest in Paramedicine stems from my desire to help people, especially when they are at their most vulnerable - similar to why I'm volunteering with VICSES. I just think its an amazing thing to have the ability to help others and I absolutely hate the mundane-ness of doing the same thing every day which is why the somewhat unexpected and spontaneous nature of the role of a paramedic is so appealing.
What interests you about Paramedicine?
Yea surprisingly I am keen for school starting again, I just feel super unproductive over the holidays so school will get rid of that feeling.Year 12 hoodies are SUPER exciting! and i really relate to unproductive holidays, What interests you most about chem and bio?
My subjects are Chem, Bio, Methods, Further and English.
I am super excited about Chem and Bio. They interest me the most.
I am also excited about receiving the year 12 hoodies and getting the English exam over and done with :P
I am a bit nervous about Methods, I really tried in this subject during yr 11 but just was performing really badly compared to others in my year level so . . . guess I gotta work more on this subject this year.
Also nervous about burning out during when exams come around, I know that happened this year . . .
Welp good luck to everyone this year :)

Having different experiences every day will definitely make life less routine-like, especially when you need to make quick decisions and think on your feet in emergencies.
This might seem silly, but delivering babies seems really magical because you're bringing a new life into the world and who knows what that baby will grow up to become. All that potential in this tiny baby waiting to be recognised by the world.
That hit different, not silly at all.Aww, thank you!
Sounds like the words of a true obstetrician.

But, all that speciality stuff is really faraway and I haven't committed to becoming an obstetrician. Paediatrics, neurosurgery and psychiatry are some of the other fields that appeal to me so as you can see, I'm all over the place.
I think I'm getting waaay ahead of myself right now and this seems so distant and unimaginable. I think I need to focus on getting into Monash first. :P Then, we can go from there.
I agree with Ionic Doc! You sound really passionate about it, and I don't think many others our age could give such a wholesome and beautiful answer.Thank you! :)
I think it's definitely good to have some kind of idea of what you wanna do even if it is wayyyy in the future
Just think, next summer holidays we won't have to worry about school!Exactly, it will be so nice not to worry about any homework for once in my life!
What are you hoping to do after school? Are you doing chem as its a prereq to something or cause you enjoy it?
Exactly, it will be so nice not to worry about any homework for once in my life!
Well, I really want to go into an area where I would study infectious diseases. If I could work for WHO or the CDC, that would be a dream! I may end up in medical school, but it wouldn't be to become a doctor. So I guess I will either do a bachelor of science or pharmaceutical sciences and see where I go from there.
I love chem! It is my favorite subject ever, and its just a bonus that it is a major prerequisite.
Do you know where you want to do paramedcine?
Wow! Thats super awesome you want to do that! What sparked your interest in infectious diseases? I would love to do paramed at Monash, but I am also considering Paramed/Nursing at ACUI'm not quite sure what sparked my interest. But when I was bored at home, I ended up watching a crap ton of documentaries on all sorts of deadly pathogens, especially the ones that happened throughout history. When this was covered in bio 3/4, it just accentuated my interest.

Those are quite a distance apart from each other, especially with monash being in frankston. Do you think you will chose a uni based on where you live, or the program?
Whats PDT? Where are you going for yr 12 camp? I can definitely relate to not wanting to wake up early!
PDT (Product Design and Technology) is pretty much a folio subject (similar to Viscom) where you find a problem and solve it with a 3D object. For my project, my problem is one of my friends is attending a gaming event and would like to cosplay to it, which I'm making her full costume for her. You can make anything you want (clothes, weapons, furniture you name it!) and there is quite a lot of freedom of what you choose to focus on!Oh wow that subject sounds very fun! It great you have the opportunity to visit a university during Year 12. I think my least favourite subject will be HHD as I chose it as it was the only subject that I could do, other than business which I really hate. I have a little bit of interest in the subject but I'm not a fan of the teacher so we'll see.
For Yr 12 camp, we are going to Federation university in Ballarat. I'm not too sure what we will be doing there but it definitely will be a great bonding session!
What do you think your least fav subject will be J_Rho and why? Do you have some goals that you want to achieve outside school this year? ;D
@J_Rho are you a lifeguard/swim instructor?
Yep! Sure am! Do you have a job? If so what do you do?
I worked at KFC and Red Rooster throughout the whole of year 10. Got fired from Red Rooster at the end of year 10. Continued working with KFC a little bit into year 11 then decided to quit cause I wasn't able to handle school/job/sports.
Although I'm planning on being a lifeguard/swim instructor after year 12 as well. :D
What sports do you play? Also if you have any questions about either of those jobs, the qualifications etc don't hesitate to ask! I have lots of useful tips, and things to share
What sparked your interest in the industry?
Ah yeah Im a swimmer, although I stoped competitive swimming bout 2 years ago, I just train now. Most of the fellow older swimmers I trained with went on to working as lifeguards while studying as uni as well, so just sorta following them..Lifeguarding is a really good job especially if you will be going away to uni, the Y are especially good at accommodating peoples availability which is such a big perk especially if you are used to kinda shitty fast food chains where they dont really care.
Some tips would be great, thanks.
What are you doing for the school production? What subject is your favourite? Surely school captain isnt decided by your peers/popularity?
For those who went back to school this week, how are you feeling??
For those who went back to school this week, how are you feeling??
Exhausted.I imagine that would be tough but satisfying? Are you keen or dreading next week?
Have been heavily involved this week with Year 7 first days so been very hectic.
Well, I had school today and it was pretty chill - had Bio and English. Also had two year 7 buddies to take care of and I think i did a pretty good job cause there settling in pretty well. Just feels like another school day, to be frank. :)Wow thats so cool you're helping the year sevens!! At my school its the year 10's job to look after the year 7s.
The only thing that bothered everyone was the weather. People were just non- stop sweating like crazyy. It got to like a top of 44 ~ here. Not fun. >:(
