Well, it’s happening… And it’s only till the end of season. 7 weeks. That’s only 35 days of school, less a couple of student free days….. I’d say just over 30 actual days. Worst outcome seems to be that he might have to do one subject again. It also sets him up to do the season at the school up there next year as planned. In my view, which is probably different to a lot of peoples’ carpe diem!

Sounds like a Plan!!!!! shaka

Sounds great. I’m sure he will love it and be thankful for the experience. Sounds like there are very minor consequences, if that, so great call to go ahead with it.

I was running amok from around 15-16 so sure, why not!

Just tie the kiddies up by one ankle to a pole, and go boarding all day.

Pass on my congrats.

He seems like a wonderful kid.

Now he just needs to make a move on that girl.  wink

I repeated year 11 - it sucked that I couldn’t do my elected subjects and was stuck doing 4unit science, 3unit math and Ancient History when I was doing 3U art, music and some bodgy 1unit subjects, like drama, the first time round. Given the time over I would leave school and complete the HSC at Tafe if I needed it for uni.

SEND HIM TO THE SNOW!!!!
