Lorraine,

Thank Jordy so much. The information has been a great help and now we are definately on the right track. He has already making a few changes thanks to your latest info regarding quoting from the book. It has been a difficult assessment. I did my HSC, but that was back in the dark ages and so many things have changed since then.

I have sent off an email to his Year Master who we have come to know very well through cricket and rugby. I have asked him to have a look at it and tell me if it is easy to decode or is it just dumb old me who is unable to figure it out. I will await his reply and see what he thinks.

Anyhow... I really think he should be out in the fresh air getting exercise rather than sitting for hours in front of the damned computer.

Thanks Lorraine, you have really helped get me out of a pinch ~ usually Craig deals with homework issues, but he is in Shanghai for the week.

Greek Isles J or at least less expensive!!!

Hi Mel

Glad to help. I immediately

recognised the book and I knew madam

who is passionate about her indigenous studies

would be happy to

shed some

light. Don't know when the assignment

is due or how far

into it he is but we also watched the movie based

on this book but

of a different name

- Australian Rules - available on video.

I think the saddest part of the constant homework and assignment

commitment

is how it erodes family time.

Our eldest is studious and

a keen learner, the other would rather be, as you

say, in the

backyard, or following other interests. But

we like to support the

kids in their studies so don't choose to go out

when daughter is

home

working. But that seems to be the life of this generation of

students. Anyway for her it will soon be

over, for us, anyway. In

the last week she has decided she would like to go

to Uni in NZ (her

Dad's a kiwi). She has found a

communications course that appeals

together with international languages and wait for

it, indigenous

studies.

Hope it's going well.

Lorraine,

I can report that the teacher has shown the boys the movie "Australian Rules". Unfortunately Liams teacher has been missing in action for the last week, hence the confusion as to how he goes about this assessment task, he always chats to them prior to beginning to make sure he is on the right track.

He worked on it for 3 hours, seems to have done the speech part and most of the essay, but its not fabulous. He is now at the skate ramp until I collect him at 3.30... a bit of fresh air and then back to it this arvo. Then of course we have an early start tomorrow for the maths tutor at 7.30am. His year master has taken pity on him and is giving him extra help in this department... and in only costs me 70 bucks a week on top of his school fees!!!! I am now going to source an English tutor who will help him with his assignments and assessment tasks. Good Grief... it will never end!

Hi Jen

We very excited about her going to NZ for uni. I had suggested

earlier that to grow personally she would do a lot better to leave

home rather than continue to enjoy a very comfortable North Shore

lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore her to bits.

Hubby and I both left home early and we both think it's not until

you are making your own way in the big world that you really find

yourself. You know get out of your comfort zone. We are tickled

pink that she is getting in touch with her kiwi side. She's a

confident kid and will cope well. I think it's so important to

learn to be independent. She's been indulged - lots of support at

home, and financially privleged. It'll do her good to learn to

manage her day to day living needs and expenses. Obviously she will

still be supported financially by us.

I'll miss her dreadfully but excited to think she has the confidence

to see this as an option. And I love to see her excited about

learning - she has a real passion for it.

Nice to talk Jen,

Lorraine
