Valedictory Dinner [Part 3]

[…Continued from Part 2] In my opinion, those teachers who walked out because they got attacked in a song deserved to get offended. The attacks were justified, especially those who think they are the of the royal class and think that they should be treated like gods. Perhaps teaching in a old, ageing castle for [...]

Valedictory Dinner [Part 2]

[…Continued from Part 1] Once inside we were served with soft drinks. Chamath and Hojo happened to take a soda water by accident. Carbonated water is often difficult to drink. In disgust, Hojo poured his drink and Chamath’s drink into the bin. At this point in time – the rest of the group was entertained [...]

Valedictory Dinner [Part 1]

Valedictory Dinner – a farewell function hosted by the school for its Year 12 students. As it was the last event of the school year – many turned up. After much prolonged thought, I too attended to see what the school can cook up. December 3rd, Chamath and I caught the new Metro trains – [...]

Final Frontier: Exams

Game over. Marathon has finished. For over two years, many VCE students were wondering if there was an end in sight. Standing at this point in time, we call all happily agree, that we have escaped the clutches and we are now free people. The term "freedom" still hasn’t struck home for many. After a [...]

The Final Week

This is it. Our schooling career ends. 12/13 years comes to a rapid close and many are gearing up for the life ahead. It was the final week of school forever. What did we do to celebrate? Read on. Most of our classes were pretty much filled with doing absolutely no work. Talking substituted in [...]

Week of Finals

As our time in school wanes (yay!), we approach the lasts of everything. One of those things is the dreaded SACs which apparently have an impact on your study score or whatever. Usually, it is a pain which has to be endured because that is how the world works. It was only Physics and English [...]

The Last Leg Begins

When we started our life at the school we attended, our principal compared our stay there to running a 400 meter race. At the moment, we sprinting – sprinting the last 25 meters of the race. So, are people actually sprinting academically? First day back, many people enlightened by the fact that there were only [...]

A Week In the “Holidays”

As the title suggests, school students all around the state and possibly the country are enjoying their two week break (or three weeks if you are a private school student [la ti da]). But the question is, why are there quotation marks around the word Holidays? Did you notice them? Do they have a hidden [...]

Week of Trials

It was the last week of term. It is a week which brings hope to those who look to the holidays as a time of peace. However, this time it was marred with trial exams. Not one, not two, not even three – but seven consecutive exams in five days. That is over an exam [...]

Week of SACs

It is fair to say that those who passed through this week (all of our class except for Kunal who wagged the Specialist SAC) deserve a round of applause as we were all bombarded with SACs – left, right and centre. Monday was a calm day – one could relate it to the saying “calm [...]
