im sorry, i messed up. yes we have it for 3 days. tues. wed. thurs. i didnt specify. yeah we have 6 main classes.i have 7 because i take band, but it counts as a 0 period (before school)

I still think that is a crazy amount. I hate having 2 exams on the one day

Cos you can't cram all the information in between exams? That sucks.

yeah, i've been doing it for the past 4 years so im pretty much used to it. hah. so you graduating this year? how many years of high school do you guys have?

[m0o0op]

6. year 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. It's fairly linear in the naming system.

oh. we have a middle school for years 7&8. so high school is only 9-12. i think thats better because then you don't have 12 year olds mingling with 18 year old. idk, thats just what I'm used to i guess. maybe it is better having everyone together

Yeah, I'm a big crammer. I graduate in November next year. I'm going to be a mess on the last day. I was crying this year when some friends finished next year will be so much worse. It's not your close friends that I'll miss coz I'll still catch up with them, it's the people I enjoy spending time with but don't see outside of school

It's either way. We really don't mix that well, or at all. Mostly because you mature so much from 12 to 17/18 that the older kids really couldn't give a shit about the young'uns.

We have a mentor system where each yr 7 is paired with a yr12. On the last day of yr12 the 7s give their "buddy" a showbag that they made.
Also 6 yr7s are in a group with 2 yr10s that meet once a week.

yeah, i mostly just see it being a problem with the older guys "tricking" the younger girls. cause at least at my school theres always a few older 17/18 year old guys that are hitting on the 9th graders. idk, i almost fell for it my 9th grade year, i cant imagine how an 7th or 8th grader would react if a guy in 12th grade was hitting on them. they'd do anything for them just because they're older and its prolly the first guy thats ever "noticed" them.
