Year 10 (Semester 2 only) 2016Please note that I moved schools in the middle of the school -year and so the results are not necessarily a true reflection of my academic ability. The GPS environment is much, much larger and totally different to that of a small, independent school like Reddam House, so it took a bit of time to settle in and acclimatise.
Additionally, Australian schools select topics out of a larger list for each subject. As a result many of the subjects taken up when changing schools did not build on prior year 10 subject matter learnt at the other school. Only 1 subject (Civics Geography) was purely a 2nd semester course.
