Well I thought the whle thing was hideous
I'm a pretty good English student- like my assessment mark was 93 and i'm soooo cranky at the crap questions
King Lear was ok- but I hated the other two
I came home and bawled cos I waas full counting on this stupid stupid mark
and I am soooo testy...
Mate, I am so glad they defined it...
I had no idea what was going on in that poem until i read the "insect that changes during its life cycle" bit and I realised it was about the life cycle,
And i don't suck at english all that much so....imagine how many others needed the def. too
Yeah Barkers huge- 2500??
but hey you shouldnt claim you win everything and then attempt to justify it by saying "relative to numbers" or whatever
meh who cares anyway
and Barker people are nice really :P
Catch ya!
I started off doing EXT His and EXT 2 Eng and because I don't have great time management I ended up dropping the History Ext. If you've got awesome time management and really love working on independent projects then I'm all for it! But if you're not it can get a bit crazy. Also I'd say (and I'm...
Well the Barker teachers just love the sound of their own voice.
And as if Stanny's beats Pius X and Barker that often. We'd whoop your ass in everything else
HEY KIDS!!
Just thought I'd check up on everyone doing the HSC and see how they're going.
Just wanna say, don't stress too much. we're all going to have sooo much fun when its all over.
Stay cool

That Roseville thing was such a crock of shit- as if there were 40 guys there. that is absolute crap- there were actually 2. and what we did was nothing compared to what those Waverly tossers did.
Sorry, our principal just has his panties in a major knot- he hates his...
Haha
I love Possession. I think there is just so much to talk about in it- and everyone can find a character they like or a parallel they like. I love Cropper- i think he's the funniest guy in the book, and there are just some really beautiful quotes in the book and images and...ah i just love...
Hey first of all Luigi (I won't use your real name) but that was soo mean to that Duckman boy- poor thing he's probably sooo cut- haha
Muck up day 2002....yeah Barker doesn't get one- very lame. apparently we're to leave the same way we arrived: with dignity
In any case all i can say is that...
Oh yeah I totally understand that.
Makes a lot of sense, and a lot of people at my school are fairly well off It just shits me that theres this stigma attached to going to a private school. Most people are just norml- like it seems to me you guys think about class and that to me. It doesn't...
What I was trying to say is that because our school does not advocate formals, we have no monnetary support- AT ALL. We students have to pay for the bond, insurance, everything.
Before people make value judgements about private schools they should get their facts straight. It's not as though...
Hey louisa
man you are soooo lucky you didnt do the 3U exam
totally sucked
i would have been better off doing the crime fiction one and sill would have done better

cya lata
Jens
Well actually or "rich private school" doesn't advocate formals so whatever we have is totally self-funded and self-organised by us. The only reason we're having one is because nice people from my year have taken the time to organise it.
I went to a state school B4 barker and i totally...
Hi
One is totally fine- he had 28 stitches in his head and a pin in his shoulder but he's had some cosmetic surgery and is fine- he's not back at school- doesn't have to do the trials
The other had been in a coma since World cup Final nite and he came out of the coma 1 1/2 weeks ago and will...
ummm...well it was on the Hot30 and it was a prize to whichever school would have the worst formal.
And a girl from Barker entered saying how badly affected everyone's been- i mean it's been really horrible.
So we won the competition.
I suppose I worded it really badly, but it's just a boost...
SORRY- I'M JUST REALLY REALLY STOKED!!!!
WE WON A COMP COS 2 GUYS FROM OUR GRADE WERE CRITICALLY INJURED IN A CAR ACCIDENT- A DRINK DRIVER HIT THEM AND ONE WASN'T SPOSED TO SURVIVE!!!
SO YEAH I'M REALLY HAPPY
OUR WHOLE GRADE WAS BADLY AFFECTED (ALL 360 OF US) SO EVERYONE WILL BE TOTALLY...
Postmodernism!!
Hey everyone!!
I'm doing postmodernism as well (every other class at Barker is doing Crime Fiction or the Essay!!)
I have a total lack of self confidence in my ability to write an essay in the Trials on postmodernism.
However, I received a really really useful piece of...
