Nice new thread ... I'm staying in Perth, Landsdale ... I'm currently in Wanneroo Senior High School . Got a friend is here too but she's currently in Canning College . Still trying to adapt myself in the new environment . Any tips that I should remember or take note during my studies here ?

I have a question here : Year 11 got a lot of test or exams ? My friend told me that got a lot of exams and such ... We also have to change our subject every semester . How true ? I did some internet searching but didn't get my answers .
*
If I'm not mistaken, there's a mate here also going to study at Wanneroo SHS. I forgot his Forum's name. mythic or something.

If you are taking up TEE subjects, there are sure a lot of exams.

Subject change depends, eg: only like woodwork for the first half & metal work for second half

Subjects like Maths, Physics etc run through the whole year.

As defined in the previous thread:
I'm not sure why it causes so much confusion throough. Most Malaysians will never be an external student for an Australian University if they are planning on stepping on Australian soil.
*
Oh okay, thanks! guess I didn't notice that post in the previous thread.

I'm going to take up (2nd year) units as an external student at uni this semester, cause If I do fail any units this semester (at my college).

Cheers! smile.gif

I went to my school earlier ... Even Year 11 need the graphic calculator ... It cost a bomb ! I was sooo down and depressed as I was saving money for a guitar ( Hehe ) ... But then ... I found out that my sis in law and my bro actually have it ... Wahahha ... Happy =D

Stuffs at Big W like exercise book is actually cheaper than the school's recommended bookshop right ?
*
yea, you're right, the calculator I brought for high school costs $180 sweat.gif

Did they recommend Wooldridges ? If so, don't buy from there, buy from Big W instead, cheaper. biggrin.gif

Yes ... Woolbridges ... Mind telling me whats a Display Book ? Exercise Book as in blank pad or like ''Buku Kerja'' in Malaysia ? If its like a normal blank exercise book ... Go Big W ... SO much cheaper . But textbook I must get from Woolridges . I took visual art ... And they got an art pack ... Do I need to buy from Woolridges ? Because it's under the school's name .

Exercise Book, are those normal single lined exercise book.

I'm not sure about the Art Pack, I guess you need that from Wooldridges.

It's better to buy those refillable one Display Books

Big W has them all ? For the display book and 8mm exercise book ... Got a lot of different size right ? not a compulsory to buy in Woolridges I suppose ?
*
yup, Big W have all of them (unless run out of stock), I think we commonly use display book A3 (rare, maybe for drawings & arts)/A4 size & exercise book A4/A5.

Last time, I brought all of the stuffs from Wooldridges cause didn't know, and

I didn't even use up most of the exercise books (which they asked to buy in the book list) ... so yeah, what a waste sweat.gif

Haya...Im already in Perth . Starting school next week . Is it true that we need a student ID first ? Anyone can tell me about Smart Rider and how to get one ? I can't find it on Transperth's Website . What's CV ?
*
Just register it through your school (participating schools), the student ID comes together with the Smartrider.

If not, you might have to download, fill up & submit the student Smartrider application form.

Im in Wanneroo Senior High School . S373n ... You mean every student has one as long as they have a Student ID ?

I'm not sure if your school separates them, but my school was like had them 2-in-1 (Student ID + SmartRider), so basically everyone has one.

every year your university will have job seminars. and a bunch of employers are there. so you bring your resume and have interviews and all that at these conventions. some companies will secure you a place in their company. so once you graduate you can join them straight away.


Added on February 1, 2009, 2:32 pmyou can usually only get these placements at the last year of your study.
*
I think the employers prefer you to have either Australian PR or Citizenship

BTW S37en ... Does the school allows us to wear blackish white shoes ?

It's not a must to use the LATEST graphic calculator I assume ? I got like 3 - 4 of the graphic calculators ... But not as new as now . Maybe like 2 years back . Can still be use ?
*
huh, I think there's no restrictions on shoes ,you can wear whatever you like (except thongs tongue.gif )

yea, as long the calculator is usable in your area of study.
