    designated thread for news re marks/showcase/comments/leaked info

    When do people find out? You would think that you wouldn't find out about showcase until the HSC results were released otherwise people will be knowing how well they did!

    What u up to?

    There is no need to understand chemistry for the HSC, I agree. You just need to be able to answer the questions... the HSC is one big game, you just gotta know how to play it.

    Stressing Over English

    Don't feel down on yourself. I've also experienced an "my writing is crap" phase with extension 2 english, and feeling as though what you are writing is bad makes it very hard to improve. Maybe look at your writing (with a teacher if you have a good teacher) and find ways in which you could...

    Bowling for Columbine for Truth??

    The respective armies could cover the groups requirement. Also perhaps specific battalions etc. Another group could be military commanders. Hope that helps a bit.
