I'm pretty sure you can't get it just by sitting next to someone who has AIDS/HIV. You can get it by having sex with an infected person or if their blood enters your body (e.g. Sharing syringes, which you really shouldn't do in the first place).

Title: The Mazerunner Author: James Dashner Genre:dystopian, futuristic, sci-if Medium (fiction, non-fiction, novel, novella, poetry, biography etc): fiction Why You Should Read It: Definitely a thrilling series, I recommend reading the entire trilogy as it is absolutely amazing. It's a bit...

I just came back from the interview part so I thought I might also add more stuff to this thread for others who also want to apply to a selective school. RivalryofTroll covered pretty much the scope of the application process, but I'll try add some more to it, only more about hurlstone The...

Would 15 be too young to be considered for a job as a "Replenishment Team member"? There's a job offer at a store near my area and I was wondering if I'm old enough to have a chance at that!

This could be media but what about the current conflicts and problems happening in the world? Here are some just to give examples: *Russia-Ukraine problem *ISIS terrorism acts *Bangladesh internal conflicts *Pakistan security threats *Spread of Ebola *Global food demand as population rises I...

Did you also read the "Possible end of progression" section? It says that between 1998-2004, IQ points slowly starting declining at the same amount of points it had increased by. Furthermore, it continues saying that "the average IQ of the young world population would decline by 1.34 points per...

I never said all parents are bad? I'm merely saying that bad parents with the wrong skills in parenting raise bad kids. And maybe if you took better care of your teeth, you wouldn't need to have got the fillings in the first place.

Oh and I'm guessing bad parenting has somewhat a factor in that as well: bad parents raise bad kids, who then grow up and repeat the cycle again.

The following is an extract from Julian Cribb's newly-released book: Poisoned Planet. I suggest that you take a look at it more as it is quite an eye-opening text. "Though we pride ourselves in our remarkable technological and creative prowess, our educational standards and our urban...

Just practise, practise and practise. Do problems or complete chapter reviews/exercises in the textbook, find worksheets online. Don't bother writing notes for maths unless it's to jot down formulas or complex explanations, just leave the simple stuff during practice and ask the teacher if you...

Personally I find that Apple products are just getting ridiculous now, they've been subtlety copying certain aspects of Android and the last iOS update was just ridiculous in terms of data size. As for the bending bit? I personally don't really care but maybe it can encourage users to switch to...

I don't know much about their system in terms of education/academics but if you're into sports then go for it, they have a lot of sporting fields like tennis courts, multiple basketball courts, soccer fields, two large volleyball courts etc etc. the people there also play really competitively at...

Again, thank you all for your responses! I'm surprised by how much information I got in such a short time and I really appreciate that! Feel free to keep posting of course but good luck to anyone else who tried out for Hurlstone (or any other selective school really)! :spzz:

Oh I don't know, maybe an educated guess or just your own opinion?

Thank you! I wouldn't mind having to do agriculture for HSC but then again I always have varying opinions. Definitely, I'm just simply going to be honest to them at the interview.

Interesting, yep I'll just ask the school. Thanks for your info and btw I enjoyed reading your super long post on "The guide to applying for a selective school", it was really rich in detail!

True but apparently the strain they are preparing for will have a massive devastation on Australia, it's one reason why their working so hard on it now. Apparently this influenza strain is more worrisome than Ebola (not that the strain even exists YET).

Recently it's been revealed that the CSL facility in Melbourne has been preparing vaccines for a possible new strain of influenza. You can see the deeper details here...

That would be cool! I have a friend there who goes Sefton, but he shares the same train with hurlstonians. In the extended response I had three body paragraphs: -The field of work the career deals with (and other potential crap, I kinda waffled here) -Benefits and rewards of the career -How it...

Yea we can always private message each other instead, don't want to fill up the forum!
