Guys, have you chosen your co curricular? I have have no idea.... Duke of ed...

[Rilin]

I'm curious about debating since I couldn't find it on the sheet :/

I think debating is one of the co-curricular activities on Wednesday. Not too sure though.

im not sure, but does jmss offer units 3 4 of vce subjects in yr 11 that doesnt require units 1 2?

I like kids, been thinking little scientist big science although im curious about debating since I couldn't find it on the sheet :/

I don't think we have debating... that's messed up. I love debating...

as far as I know of the only subject that requires units 1 and 2 as a prerequisite is meth... correct me if I'm wrong, but in the info night, I think they said that 95% of the students in yr 11 do units 3 and 4

besides, cells to systems is practically units 1, 2 bio and a little higher from what they said... same goes a few others...

[The Usual Student]

Do you reckon I could get my results back even through I rejected the offer?

Super curious.

I highly doubt it

I ensure you that there will be debating. It is not a co curricular subject but an extra curricular subject as you do it after school. You still have it , just not during Wednesdays

I think there might have been biology and psychology on the list they showed us on info night. Any other 3/4 I might have forgotten.

Hi folks,
In regards what 3/4 subjects you can do, JMSS allows to do the lot. You can do bio 3/4 and psych 3/4 without 1/2. You can do physics 3/4 if you complete physics unit 2 as your science elective and methods 3/4 if you have completed 1/2 in yr 10. With the humanities jmss generally doesnt care much about completing the 1/2. This means you can do 3/4 geography, history, pe, politics and maybe media in yr 11. Also you can do a 3/4 language in yr 12 given you have completed 1/2 in yr 10. You can also do further maths 3/4 in yr 11.

Also, you should be mindful that the school heavily discourage students in completing 2 3/4s at yr 11 and they only let students to do so if they attain a very high average (above 90s).

The trend in jmss is that a lot of students complete bio 3/4 in yr 11. I think there is about 4 or 5 classes of yr 11 students for 3/4 bio. Good preparation for 3/4 bio is completing cells to systems (has elements of unit 3 bio) and bioinformatics (which is basically unit 4 bio with a natural extension). I personally think that bioinformatics provide better preparation than cells for bio 3/4.

I hope I provided you guys with handy information. Also congratz in getting to jmss. Advice for you peeps to take EVERY opportunity that jmss has to offer if you guys want to make jmss a great experience. I hope I get to see you guys next year. I'll be floating around the school doing random stuff.

If you have any questions about JMSS feel free to pm me.

lol, you tell me this now? Is there any way to change the electives? I knew I should have chosen bioinformatics over cells to systems uhh

[chelonianlover]

Also, thank you Lol, helpful stuff ahaha

Hi chelonianlover,
There might be a window of opportunity during orientation where you could change your electives. If worse comes to worst, next year tell the curriculum administration team that you want a subject change. They should be able change it for you since it is quite easy for them to change it because all the electives are run at the same time.
