Probably should have posted in this thread a while ago but you guys are WAY too keen for JMSS that it somewhat scares me a little (in a good way of course :')

I am so going to crash this meeting

I'm with you on this one!

HAHAH you guys can crash the meeting for me since I probably would have left by then (you guys probably don't know but it's co-curricular on the same day [but we don't have it] so we can leave straight after or during lunch)

[Rilin]

Quick, we need to set up a network of secret messages to decide somewhere else to meet so they can't crash the meeting!!! 

[SKGUN11]

What about imessage or skype chat?

What about imessage or skype chat?

Skype is good for me, but we might have to do the atarnotes messaging to pass each others skype usernames

[Rilin]

What about imessage or skype chat?

Yeah, skype might be easier for accessibility. I have a Samsung phone so I can't use imessage.

If it isn't too personal to ask, are you leaving JMSS next year?

[Jamin2906]

Hey does anyone know what we should do about work experience
My school is making us finalize plans with the employers now, but if I go to JMSS the work experience dates may be different
Do we arrange jobs ourselves, or during the first week or two do we figure it out
To any year 10's/11's at JMSS; what did you guys do last year about work experience?

LOL no I'm not leaving JMSS next year since I'll be in Year 12! I said I was leaving since school for us ends at 12:40pm on that day so we can leave though more than likely I might be staying back to catch a few names from different people next year!

Unrelated but if someone on this thread (or is reading this) came to the school today at roughly 2pm to hand in your JMSS forms then hopefully I wasn't too awkward in randomly saying hello to you LOL (you'll know who you are I guess )

You arrange jobs for yourself and although it is a tiresome process, you do learn a few things along the way like structuring a CV and so forth. Depending on what you want to do, if you want to go to a hospital then you want to get a CV written by October since placements open really quickly. If you're more into research, Monash Uni has some work experience placements in lots of different areas which you can apply for (like Biology, Chemistry and Physics) though I personally suggest going some place else (not because it's better) but it's more unique and 'cooler' I suppose
Just get a placement before the end of Term 1 next year or before Week 3 in Term 2 and you should be fine

Yeahy!! ahaha, that means we'll get to see you!!!

Hey guys, does anyone know when school actually starts next year for JMSS? Is it in Feb or...?

[chelonianlover]

Probably the same day as our schools now?
But there's also the three day camp. Is that at the start of school ?

Yeah, though private schools start two weeks or something later than government and state schools... I'm doubt school starts at the 7th Feb for JMSS... :/
