Very confusing! I didn't get one and I had 50,50,49,47,44,44. Mind you, one of those 50's was from last year. All my subjects were science or LOTE.

My friend got one with 50,49,47,40, and two <40's. Pretty much all in humanities subjects.

On a side note, who invites you to an event without telling you what the event actually is? So presumptuous lol.

Ah, so lounge suit would be just a suit... Minus the shorts I am hoping adding actual pants.

Uh, can I wear a trench coat to the event if it is cooler? And I mean wearing it at the table.

I didn't get one either, but I'm not surprised since I have essentially the lowest aggregate for 99.90.

I think they just randomly choose some high achievers. That's the only way to explain it.

Anyone else find it weird that even though it is for Australia Day, the date on the invitation said the 22nd of January? So this Wednesday. I hope that this isn't a typo because I don't really want to turn up to an empty place and confused receptionist.

If I remember correctly, it was held on the Wednesday before Australia Day last year, too. I guess it's because Government House is open to the public on Australia Day, so they can't hold it then.

If it's like last year, there'll also be people from the army, police, and the like. I'd say there were maybe a few hundred people or so.

Well, I didn't particularly enjoy that experience. Canapes tasty, awkwardness factor though (for me anyway) high. On another note, the ceiling of the place is lovely.
