Holiday Homework...

So what'd everyone get?
I wouldn't mind comparing my school with some of the "better" schools, to see how much we fall behind haha

I'm planning to do more than the prescribed amount, but here's an outline of mine:

Methods
 - Chapter 1 (Essentials)

Spesh
 - Chapter 1 (Essentials)

Chem
 - A few Yr 11 Qs to keep us up to date so we don't forget

English
 - Read 1 Book & Related Questions
2010: Business Management [47]
2011: English [44]   |   Chemistry [45]  |   Methods [44]   |   Specialist [42]   |   MUEP Chemistry [5.0]   |   ATAR: 99.60
UMAT: 69 | 56 | 82 | = [69 / 98th Percentile]
2012: MBBS I @ Monash

I haven't got my "holiday homework" yet, I'm getting mine on "VCE Preparation/Transition" day (as my school calls it) - 26 Nov, after my exams finish. I'll post up what homework I've got, when I get it. =P

Though, I'm pretty sure my school will give me "holiday" homework for every single subject in any case.

You're luck that yours is a "day", mine is a whole "Head Start Program Week". :(

Can't wait to start it though, feels exciting for some reason.

Yeh we had a day, although I would've preferred a couple/week, as its so quick from finishing exams yesterday, meeting new teachers/homework today, then boom finished without any further contact to new teachers. I mean it's basically the biggest break where work can be done, and there's basically not much guidance at all...

Yeah, we do something similar. These next two weeks are year 11 for me.
Its good, I get to meet my teachers before the start of the new year.

I feel the same way as well.

Though I doubt I'll be feeling this way, halfway through next year.

Ditto. The worst part of it all is that we don't do any work until the final day. :(

Would much rather be at home knocking off portions of the year 12 textbooks :) :) :)

hmm in a way I reckon 2 weeks is too long or maybe I'm just feeling lazy since we just had our 1/2 exams and going straight into year 12 + it's near the end of the year anyway...

Our transition timetable is terrible though! it's blocked in doubles so some people who are doing 4 subjects could have a day that they only need to be at school for one class. I also have a day with a triple free at the end but apparently we're not allowed to leave school early :o

When I finished MM 1/2 we were given a document to complete before the next year, it was never mentioned later though.

There's a year 12 camp next week, lots of people aren't going... and it's predominantly a social event anyway. No work is given etc as far as I am aware.
