Wish me luck!

hi everyone,

well today is the day. I'm going back to college after two months of summer holidays! so looks like I wont be online as much as I have been the last two months. This year is my 11th schooling year, and it's "5th form" - today I'm just going for an hour to get my timetable and I have tomorrow off and start normal classes on Thursday. I must admit I am looking forward to going back. This year I'm taking Maths & English(Core subjects), Information Managment Technology, History, French and Science as a 6th subject. So wish me luck for one of my most important years of school. Thanks in advance.

Sam.

does this mean youre in year 11???
but arent you 14??????????????????????????? wait maybe the schooling system is different from the one in australia
I wish you luck and for me too! im going back to school too this week.
Already started my work

The schooling system is different. I am 14, but I'm turning 15 in much. Don't ask me how it works..LOL. Lots of luck for you too! Thanks.

Good Luck Sam I hope you have some nice classes

How many more years do you have to do??

Thank you Rita!

3 years, including this year.

Good luck Sam!

We were known as 5th formers at that age as well Sam!.

You stick in at school Sam because like you say these years are the important ones for you!. I wish you lots of luck and hope you come out on top form in all your lessons!

Good Luck Sam!

Super ultra good Wishes and Good Luck Sam!!!! Good return!!!

Goodluck Sam.

Aww Good Luck Sam!!!!! We used to be called 5th formers too, but now it's called Year 10 - I liked 5th form better

Do some people leave school after the 5th form in New Zealand - they can in England. Students who wish to study for entrance to University then stay on until they're 18 in what we used to call the 6th form (now years 12 and 13). My daughter's in her last year of "6th form" now.

What would you like to do when you leave school - sorry if you've been asked this loads of time before

Enjoy your schooldays - they're great. My daughter said to me the other day, I can't believe this is the last January I'll be at school *sniff*

Have a good school term. Study hard!!

oh good luck sam

Best of luck Sam

I have no doubt that you will do just fine! You seem to be a smart girl with a great head on your shoulders.

Good luck, Sam! I don't think you'll need luck though because you seem like a very smart girl. I will miss having you on-line though.

In my time, you had the choice to stay after 5th form or to continue onto 7th form and do bursary exams for entering university. How I remember and hated my 5th form year - I really struggled in maths and had to have a private tutor which didnt help at all - he made me do it the old fashioned way - no calculator - using a book for sin, cos and tan! I told my parents that it wasnt helping so they stopped it - and I still failed maths. But I did pass the rest of my subjects to allow me to go onto 6th form, which was a lot easier!!!

But we didnt have Information Management Technology in my time - what is that??

Good luck Sam with School Certificate Year!

Best of luck for this school year, Sam! Study hard, but remember always to take time to smell the roses & pet the kitty-cats!

Good luck Sammy! Come back and see us often!!
