JMSS 2014 Testing Talk!

[SKGUN11]

I really do not have much science achievments. Only "green team" which is focusing on environmental science as a co curricular! What about you guys with science?

[Hannibal]

I have two Science Talent Search major bursaries, and a credit in a science test similar to ICAS. I would love to have some more sporting achievements haha, I play for a hockey club and that's it.

Is listing stuff from Primary School worth it?

LOL well I guess if it's like a 'big' award. Hahaha it's really all up to you I guess.
What Sporting awards? Haha would it be worth it if i gave my athletics ribbons?? And also my swimming certificates??

I got a high distinction in the science ICAS last year

I suppose listing stuff from Primary School would be worth it if you can prove that you've consistently been that good, or are still as good as you were, as long as that good is really good.

Haha ya... less than 24 hrs before school begins LOL during this holiday, I've spent a lot of time with family, bit of tutor hw and school hw and yea preparing for JMSS. LOL but then I'm worried that i won't make into the interview and all this preparation would be useless :? Hahaha i've finally settled down which area of science i am most passionate with. BAHAHA I was going to do some volunteering work, but then they are all in the west and north, while i belong to the SE suburbs :/ LOL oh well.

What about you guys?? 

[waftj]

LOL and seeing how so many people have Science awards in the past and I never participated in anything that is Science related makes me feel like I have a smaller chance. :/ I'm more of a conversational type of man. Hahaha who have signed up for DAV this year?? I might ask my debating coordinator this term - I think my teacher might have forgotten about it.

[SKGUN11]

My school does not offer much science competitions though! Only ICAS by what I know! 

[Rilin]

Don't panic if you don't have too much to show. This stuff is important, but you don't need absolutely everything related to science in your portfolio. 

As long as you show them that you have a passion for science and you deserve to get a spot at the school you should make it in. Don't sweat it guys.

Yep DAV Debating D-Grade haha, we were undefeated until we lost our last clash (I was in it too ). I was awarded best speaker in an earlier debate, but I never received a certificate or anything so I can't show it off . What other schools are in your division?
