1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Job mission with Joins and Demand.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: HC starts today for me and mylest and my last

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: child is doing the HSC, so I've been through this

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: two times.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 3: Before because she's different, because.

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: My kids are so spaced out in age. So my

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: eldest he went through the HSC ten years ago, and

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: my daughter five years ago, and now my son, my

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: youngest son, is doing it now. So it feels like

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: I've been doing HSC for a long time. But as

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: I do the speech to all my kids, because I

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: left school in year ten, and then they see me

13
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: doing this job and they said, well, you left school

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: in your ten and you seem to be doing what

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: you wanted to do. And I said, well, it's what

16
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: you have to do right now. I knew what I

17
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: wanted to do, but it took a long time to

18
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: get to this.

19
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: But you were lucky because she knew early on.

20
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of pressure put on them. And

21
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: as they said at the school leaving thing, they said,

22
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: the atar doesn't matter and probably in five years you

23
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: won't have remember what your ATR is and no one's

24
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: going to sit there. If you go to a building site,

25
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: oh man, it's not going and say, oh what did

26
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: you get in your atar? The ATA just says where

27
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: you rank in the state. But having said that, this

28
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: is the one thing that you just have to do.

29
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: Now you don't have to do anything.

30
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: Can ast you this because you've gone through it three times?

31
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: This year is so different because of the disruption to school,

32
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: disruption to the rights of passage that kids normally have

33
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: at this time. Can you see a difference?

34
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: Not really, because I think Dom has his own studying journey,

35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: which isn't much. He's taking it very casually. I said,

36
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: do you do I not give you this chat with

37
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: him last night? I said, do you get the impression

38
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 2: that I don't care what you do in your HSC?

39
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: Because I do care. I do care what you do.

40
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: I want you to do well. And he said no,

41
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: But he's a pretty He just takes it on. He

42
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: takes it on the chin. My daughter, she as she said,

43
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: when she was doing her HC, she was a milkshake.

44
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: She said, I'm going to spill. I'm going to spill,

45
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: you know. So she was really freaked out. I had to,

46
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: like we all around the house, had to step on

47
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: It was like stebbing on eggshells. My eldest son. He

48
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: just kind of he personality based too, is personality.

49
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: I remember studying for my HSC and telling Dad off

50
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: because he was mowing the lawn out the back.

51
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm trying to study highly, strike Liam added Liam Gay.

52
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: Liam was very self contained. He'd studied hard all year,

53
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: so he but he he had this sort of internal stress.

54
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: Who who doesn't? And the hard thing is we say, look,

55
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: you'll find your way, but when you're that age, you

56
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: don't know that. So it's no point in us saying

57
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, because it does.

58
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: It does.

59
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: And usually at this time of year we do phone

60
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: topics on things like I didn't do well in the exams,

61
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: but I'm look how great, Look how happy I am?

62
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: Now we do phone topics like that, or when have

63
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: you ever used something that you had to study for

64
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: your HSC? But this year is different. I just think

65
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: this year is the year of twenty twenty needs a

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 3: shout out because it's been so hard. There's been a

67
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: disruption to face to face studying with teachers of social occasions,

68
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: eighteenth birthdays, school formals, those rights of passage. These kids

69
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: have missed out on a lot. They're also maybe heading

70
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: into university where some of the courses they were going

71
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: to do are going to cost them twice as much.

72
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: There's a lot of disruption about what happens next. So

73
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: why don't we use the airwaves for good instead, instead

74
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: of cynicism maybe, or instead of humor. Today, let's give

75
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: shout outs to the year twelves today doing their exams.

76
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: If you're a parent, because you've been on this journey too,

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: this is stressful for parents as well. There's been a

78
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: lot of talk about kids' mental health, and rightly so,

79
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: but parents have been through the ringer as well. If

80
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: you want to give a shout out to a school,

81
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: to a particular child, to a year, use us this morning.

82
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: Let's give these kids. You know you've come all this way.

83
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: This is the beginning of the next step of your journey.

84
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: Can we help you? Can we give you a shout out?

85
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: Give us a call thirteen WSFI and let's let's tell

86
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: them how we're feeling.

87
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: Sure, and hello Rose, good.

88
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: Morning, here you go, and good have you got someone

89
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: doing the exam today?

90
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: Ah?

91
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 5: Yes, my daughter and she's the youngest.

92
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: And how are you feeling?

93
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: Actually?

94
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, such a tough for them.

95
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 5: And in the mine too. I wish all of them work,

96
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 5: and there's so much more than a mark a piece

97
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 5: of paper.

98
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: Exactly that's exactly right.

99
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: And does she want any help with the math? So

100
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: I'm happy to help out you give some tips or

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: anything like that.

102
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 5: Rose, I think she might be good at this stage.

103
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Thanks.

104
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: Oh listen, it's the emotion of the parents too, you

105
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: know this is this has been a tough culmination for everybody,

106
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: and today they're off on the next It's making me

107
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: rite don't even have a.

108
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: Kid doing h.

109
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: The blood and the drop of a hat.

110
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: Hi, Allison, how are you feeling today?

111
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm a little upset, like I think you

112
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: could probably imagine Amanda as a mum. But my youngest

113
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: he's starting today and they have had it really tough.

114
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: I was giving him and all his cohort a massive

115
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: shout out because particularly it's been really hard when they

116
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: had to do their zoom lessons earlier on in the year,

117
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: when they all they couldn't go to school. The wi

118
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: fi here is terrible. We don't have NBN and he

119
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: would like cut be halfway through a lesson and the

120
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: wi fi'd cut out and he'd miss lessons and be

121
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: really stressful. He handled it like a complete champion, is

122
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: extremely well resolved. He was really really stoic and very

123
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: strong about it. But I mean, I think on the whole,

124
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: like when you keep missing lessons because of the stupid

125
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Wi Fi dropping out, and all the kids were in

126
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: the same boat. So this is a shout out to

127
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: all the kids in year twelve at Pacific Hills in Durill.

128
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: You know, our thoughts are with you and for the

129
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: next three weeks. James is doing his hsc spread out

130
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: of it for three weeks, but you know, I'm just

131
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: my heart goes out to him and to his mates and.

132
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it's funny and that WiFi never drops up

133
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: when they're gaming, does it well?

134
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: But also there'd be other times in school life you go,

135
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: but in year twelve you have to worry about this stuff.

136
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: Good only Allison Caitlin has joined us as well. Hello Kaitlin, Good.

166
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: See because as a teacher, I guess are there particularly

167
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: years where you have a soft sport for the kids

168
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: all then are there other years where you go. All

169
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: those kids were a bunch of little rat bags. I

170
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: don't care what happens to them.

171
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,720

172
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 5: for all of them. Despite is there a great bunch

173
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 5: or not so great bunch. But you know, they're all

174
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,559
Speaker 5: individuals and they stand out. But as I said, because

175
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 5: I had these guys probably three years, you grow a

176
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 5: certain attachment to the kids, and they were unique individuals

177
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: and and it was quite fitting because when I had

178
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,640
