1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jonesy and Amanda down.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 2: To the Jonesy Demotter of Arms for the pub tests.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Scrapping the HSC does it pass the pub test?

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 3: Our Premier has said she's going to make a call

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: on how the HSC exams are going to be completed

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 3: in the next couple of days. There is some speculation

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: that all the kids will take an instant COVID test

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: before they go in to sit the HSC. They've already

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: been put back by a week. The head of Sydney

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 3: Catholic Schools has said that they should be scrapped and

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 3: we just go on school assessments, but the new South

12
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: Wales Education Minister has said, no, that is a ridiculous

13
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: thing to say. It's not helpful. We are going ahead

14
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: with the HSC. It's tricky because some parts of the

15
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: city the state are in full lockdown. Kids can't go

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: to school, they can't access libraries, they can't that they're

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 3: doing stuff from home, which isn't conducive for all the kids.

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: Other places are still open, the schools are still running.

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: So what do you think scrapping the HSC does it

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: pass the pub test?

21
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

22
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 5: I reckon that you should be scrapped for this year

23
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 5: because this COVID delta strain is out of contrials one

24
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 5: hundred six in auditor rooms or whatever they they could

25
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 5: spread it. I written a scrape it this year. I

26
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 5: do it on evaluations how they went throughout the year,

27
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 5: and bring it in next year if COVID under control. No,

28
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 5: not at all.

29
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 6: They I think it's a really tough time and I

30
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 6: do sympathize, but you've got to just do it and

31
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 6: commit to it.

32
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: And we've all been there. I think it should still

33
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: go ahead. But in terms of comparing students across subjects

34
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: and across the previous years, I think everyone's on the

35
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: same playing field this year, everyone's had the same disadvantage,

36
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: so everyone's going to be funded equals.

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: Yes, Unfortunately, my heart goes out to all the HC

38
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: students and it's really trying time. So yeah, then it

39
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: doesn't define you, you know, that's what they need to know.

40
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: Thank you for your course.

41
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: Easy to say it doesn't define you. It's tough when

42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: you know you're going to feel the stress either way.

43
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: I remember when I did my AHSC it was tough.

44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: You did it, didn't get four hundred and ninety seven. No,

45
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: now I'm working as a microsurgeon.

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: No no to all of that, is that my alter ego.

47
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: He goes the word Jonesy and Amanda's gamation
