Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.

Where I live there are 4 campuses. When you get to junior high there are two schools that arent near each other and 2 campuses combine with another. We all then meet in one high school campus.

My school systen is:

1st, 2nd, 3rd in one school.
4th, 5th and 6th in a school next to the first. Same Campus

7th 8th is junior high. New campus

9th 10th 11th 12th high school. new campus

Yeah I know that sometimes 9th grade is high school or sometimes it's middle school. Middle School used to be called Junior High School.


Actually everyone can leave after year 10 but most people goes on.


If you leave after year 10 can you still go to University?

superior school


That sounds cool!

@Reton no you need to pass an exam in year 13 (it's called maturity) to go to university but I think you can pass it just by doing the exam and not frequenting school if you want to go to university later.

In New Zealand, you're free to leave school once you're sixteen. You have to gain necessary prerequisites for university though, which obviously won't be gained by dropping out.

What is that even supposed to mean?


"Shrimp on the barbie" was an advertising campaign for Australian tourism aimed at Americans.

So where the bloody hell are you Reton?

I also think that the "Outback steakhouse" restaurants have used that as well.

As for the school districts, the ones around me are different. My school has elementary at K-6, 7 & 8 for middle, and 9-12 for high. Meanwhile, another district near me has K-3 in elementary 4-6 in intermediate, 7 & 8 in middle, and 9-12 in high. I don't get why there are differences. Maybe it depends on how well the district is attended.

Why does everyone else think that Australia is outback? It's called "out back" for a reason.

That's what the restaurant is called. I don't have any clue why we would have no space in between out and back other than the spelling in the restaurant name.

Only people who don't know anything about Australia think it's 'outback'. The colloquial term 'out back', which refers to the uninhabited areas of Australia, was used in an advertising campaign in America (and possibly other nations) in the '80s and, to a lesser degree, the '90s. It was also used to name a now popular steakhouse restaurant chain, Outback Steakhouse. (bloomin' onions FTW!)

"Outback Steakhouse is a United States-based casual dining restaurant chain based in Tampa, Florida with over 900 locations in 22 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia."

Interesting, there are now Outback Steakhouses in Australia, but the chain originates in America.
