Not me, but one of my friends from my home country
He arrived on a 417 and was naive about tax laws, etc
Got paid cash in hand, deposited the cash into his bank account, and sometimes transferred the money through Wise to his home country
The bank closed his account, and the other banks are not allowing him to open an account
Is it over for him?
My understanding is that in the ACT public secondary schools are split into 7-10 or 11-12, with a few 10-12
But how does one teach in such a school? Surely it's difficult to get a full load based solely on Year 11 / 12 subjects? (even if you could, it sounds like a nightmare?)
Or do they usually teach multiple subjects?
Or do they usually teach at two schools (one Y7-10 and one Y11-12)
In which case why not just have a 7-12 school so that teachers won't have to commute between schools?
Seems strange doesn't it? I thought the younger the better?
Surely in the age of AI, and the fact that rich kids can afford tutors
It's not safe to have any form of assessment other than in-person invigilated (no access to internet)
I am referring to 3/4 only because that actually affects your ATAR,unlike 1/2 which is only S/N
My understanding is that the planning level is the number of visas granted in that FY, not the number of invitations issued for that FY
So with 491 visas for the next FY being slashed by half, does that mean hardly any invitations will be issued, given the backlog?
Just had a terrible first half of the semester (third, of four in an M. Teach program)
Out of the first four assignments (one per unit, each worth 50% of the unit), I got three Ps and a fail (by one mark)
I had to juggle between placement, work (to pay rent and living expenses) and anxiety
The plan is to place all my effort into placements, and graduate with Ps
An alternative is to reduce the load to part-time to possibly improve my grades
But my mentor suggested that, provided I am mentally OK, to get the degree out of the way and start practising ASAP, no one cares about WAMs in this degree
What do you think?
He's from country X, born and raised there to two parents who are also born and raised there
He gave up that country's citizenship to obtain SG citizenship
Then he immediately reapplied for citizenship of country X through the "descent" route, because both his parents are citizens of country X by birth
He is currently in Singapore, working as well
For Master degrees
I heard interview, references matter more?
How do you think they will reform the points test? For sure we'll all be watching the Budget closely tonight
Mine is usually 900 ish
With Taiwanese people not giving birth, who's gonna take care of the elderly, and do low-skilled service jobs?
Which name do you prefer in English?
Problem is
Yue is the Mandarin Hanyupinyin transliteration of 粵
Canton is also problematic
Maybe we should normalise calling it Jyut ?
e.g. if the answers are 1+ sqrt 5 and 1-sqrt 5
can I instead write 1 +- sqrt 5
Decided not to take the language I have studied since primary school (Saturday school, heritage language) and therefore have no records of ever formally taking the language
Then take level 1 of that language, and then level 2 and so on
Am I doing myself a disservice by wasting time and units? Yeah
But the free WAM is pretty sweet
Both parents are informal workers, cash-in-hand type of job, so no CPF
Having to take care of them makes me a serf. I have no ability to have children and thus don't want to marry
I just want their selfish-ass gene to terminate
It's easy for the gahmen to talk about raising TFR, but still refuses to invest in taking care of the elderly
