Can I still get a 95 ATAR?

s97

OMG stoopppp sameee most of the people in my cohort are in full on vacation mode like they’ve already retired.
My school? Below average at this point literally giving me high blood pressure for free.

LIKE SAME HEREEE. I swear my school’s priorities are on a different planet. I’m relating so hard right now because why do they care more about the shade of our socks than the quality of our education?? Like I’m tryna pass, not model for a uniform catalog....

My school is the most unserious private school ever, I can’t even laugh anymore it’s just pain . And don’t even get me started on my cohort they’ve fully given up. Like no one wants to work together. But hey, what can I do except suffer in silence

FRRR like I'm going through some personal stuff and thats why i've been finding this first term a little tough but at least i'm still trying...but these people? They don't even try like hello? Soo cookedd our schools r probably going to scale down at this point

Ikr!! Exactly!! Our school rules r so ridiculous...to the point that if you have the wrong uniform they can send u home Also the year 12 jacket? Apparently at my school its a "privilege" to be earned from "good behaviour and uniform". So even when we get the ugly year 12 jacket, we can't even wear it whenever we want because of some students Also the fact that its purple and black when our uniform is predominantly dark green Soo ugly. Also, the uniform is so OVERPRICED as well?? Like come on...
Don't even get me started about this one teacher at my school she is actually a little excessive....put nicely. Basically she REALLY cares about uniform...once she tried to measure someones BUZZCUT and someones earrings (Apparently you're not allowed to be bald at my school thats why) Its really not that deep thooo

Lmaoo so trueee Are you sure we don't go to the same school like what??
Yeah, thats why I've made sure to definitely talk to the teachers and year level coordinators for support; I feel like they can be somewhat understanding, but it depends. Just a thought Support systems are better than doing this year alone otherwise I would genuinely go insane

LITERALLY omg these people at school are something else I seriously hope next term goes amazing for you because we deserve a break from the madness.

But bro... the way some people don’t even try??? It’s actually painful to watch like they put zero effort and then have the nerve to be nosy about my marks??? Like HELLO why are you begging me for my results like it's your ATAR on the line and then they hit me with the “it’s not that deep” line… okay then WHY are you still asking? Be so serious rn

And don’t get me started on the school rules. WHY does it feel like we’re attending Australia’s Next Top Model instead of actual school like you forgot to wear the right shoes? Boom, sent home. That’s a crime. Senior kids out of uniform? Suddenly it’s the end of the world like pls we’re all one broken shoelace away from a breakdown, let us live.

My school gives us laptops and GUESS WHAT — our parents paid for them as part of school fees, right? But these people blocked everything. They even blocked YouTube at one point??? Like huh??? My parents paid for this but I can’t even use it?? AND THEN if something breaks, we get charged. Bro, what are we even paying for oh and we’re not allowed to bring our own laptops either. We must suffer with the cursed one they provide.

Don’t even get me started on our senior coordinator every. single. morning. Uniform check like it’s the highlight of his day. Like… find a hobby and THEN we got them teachers who have completely given up on teaching — like why are you making my already stressful life harder

At this point… are we even at different schools? Cuz everything you said feels way too familiar

s97 IKR. Its so weird how people think your marks are their business, when you're not even obligated to give them your marks. Man, some people r js so insecure abt other people doing better than them....like, if u want those marks, work for it!! So simple its common sense lmao, like js focus on yourself At that point they r willing to be put their mark on the line JUST to start drama lol.

IKRRR tell me about it LOL. Like exactly why do they always want problems?? People get so pressed over the tiniest things, my god. Mind your own business.

STOPPP we used to get in trouble for wearing jewellery too, like apparently it’s “too distracting”? WHATT I’ve never heard anything more nonsense in my life. Who is it even distracting?? And how does that interfere with learning?? Such stupid rules, on god.

s97 OMG SAME!!! WAIT THEY BLOCKED YOUTUBE FOR US AT SOME POINT AS WELL WHATTT

GIRL you’re joking WHATTT at this point there’s literally no difference between our schools and the dumb rules they throw at us. And what’s worse?? We’re private schools and STILL not doing good like… be serious. This is not what we signed up for HAHAH.

s97 OHH that must be so annoying FRR - luckily my teachers r thankfully quite decent - but i'm sorry that yours aren't good luck girl hopefully it turns out okay

AWWW thank youuu GIRL I hope we both survive this madness fr private school trauma is real

YEAH petty much....those people: peak now, flop later. Us: peak now, peak later

Yeah the "too distracting" excuse is lowkey kind of weird. We're young adults aren't we allowed to express ourselves?? I mean, we're literally not primary school kids so it doesn't matter istg. FRR, its REALLY weird...if anything maybe it distracts the teachers but they don't wanna admit it but like thats kind of strange if it does ngl....

LITERALLYY!! You're so right, private schools are NOT as good as everyone thinks they are..but tbf this is my 2nd high school and ngl I have to say it is WAY better than the public school i used to go to....at my old school it was a normal occurence to walk past people physically fighting and people recording and stuff....so i'm glad i got away from THAT....though the kids at private schools r still cooked ig....

Anonymous2007 AWWW thank youuu GIRL I hope we both survive this madness fr private school trauma is real

Aww its okay LOL frrr!! and is your private school catholic? because mine is and religion is compulsory....but literally no one cares about it and its basically useless and lowkey kind of annoying bc it could've been used for a study period. I mean, sometimes its fine but if you don't pass religion apparently you don't get your study contract or whatever?? Be so frr...

Anonymous2007

Anonymous2007 Literally lmao, that’s such a stupid excuse to ban something. Like at least come up with a better reason than 'it’s too distracting'

FRRR - like what? They wanna control what they can't control....

Anonymous2007 Yesss omg, they’re not as good as people make them sound. Like no way, that’s actually crazyyy. No fr, most of them don't care LOL

LOL so true!! Right??

Anonymous2007 Nope Its not catholic

Oh no way is your school actually that strict about it? My school gives us study periods, but I guess it's because in lower high school we used to have religious studies. But for you guys not to even be allowed to study? That’s wild. And to not get a study contract either?? WHATTT.

YEAH ITS NOT FAIRRR. I mean sometimes in religion we can use them to study but other times it just to teach some stuff we already know or thats not exactly that helpful. Like i don't know how i'm gonna use some of the stuff I learn in it. Though, I think religion was actually okay in younger year levels and it was actually kind of interesting and helpful at some point but in YEAR 12??? Hell nah....likes its our final year please let us just have the damn study period!!! Like, I have mixed feelings about it actually....I mean once we did mindful eating and that was fun But I just feel like as year 12s, we should be allowed to not have to do it??? AND THE STUDY CONTRACT THING IS SO ANNOYING istg....

Anonymous2007

Anonymous2007 Exactlyyy! It's honestly so annoying not being able to have proper study periods. Like last year, the extra school my school is made us have these so called ‘study classes,’ but we had to be supervised by a teacher... because apparently, at our big ages, we can’t take ownership of our own education lmaooo. We weren’t even allowed to go to the library! We had to sit in a classroom being watched by a teacher… and to make it worse, the ‘study’ periods weren’t even for studying. It was basically a free for all—no one actually did any work. I even tried raising the concern, but of course, nothing was done. Typical private school behavior LOL. Their priorities are always somewhere else

THIS. This is LITERALLY how the religion study periods have been for me since year 11 up until this year I relate to this sm lol Like during it not a lot of people r actually studying like at least one person is 100% watching basketball or playing a game or smth lmaoo. Right? Even if you brought it up with like a teacher or smth they never actually do anything Maybe the teachers need to be paid more idk

Oh rlly Oh I guess my school just really cares about how aesthetically pleasing our school looks I mean, I appreciate that it looks nice but can they at least put a bit more money into the education??

Ohh noo FRR its so annoying uniform is NOT the biggest priority lmao. I mean, I follow the rules but Ik for a fact its still rlly annoying because like we're in year 12 like come on?? Private schools were built for the teachers fr....Yeah true! You're right, though I do think its still possible to get 90+ with even with a couple high 30s though! May or may not depend on the subject but I think its still definitely possible with even a few 40s and high 30s. But yeah Ig for 95+ with our schools that must really suck But dw you can do it I believe in you!!

yeah I relate sm to like the fact that if you're from an asian family its kind of routine to just try for medicine....like my sister is but i'm still deciding lol.

That's so good to hear!! Yeah I'm sure they will be very supportive and with their help you can most definitely get there
So true! Ig a good way to think about it is we can focus on our own work ethic and knowledge and our own improvement and this year may be a little less stressful.
