1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda. So I've been doing

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: my HSC. This moring.

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: This is last Yew's paper. You've got hold of English,

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: which is what they're doing today.

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: I love them. Wondered how I would have gone. So

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: question one text feature article extract explain how the article

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: look alive encourages to view the world. So there's a

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: little article that's written here, and I've read the article

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: and in my opinion, it's to view the world through

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the eyes of a child.

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Boom, they're the only words you've written.

12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: There. You go teach, there, you go teach. Well, that's

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: that's what it is. That's what the answer is.

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's it's I had a moment last night,

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: and you know, I think you think I cried the

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: drop of a hat. But you know, Jack's doing the

17
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: studying the HSC today and he doesn't study well at home,

18
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: so he's been going to State Library or the municipal library.

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: And I can vouch for him because he was on

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: his Instagram and I accidentally clicked on his live story

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: there he was at the library and I said, hey,

22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: do a my you're going to see something weird happy here.

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: You're not doing some sort of only fans thing or anything.

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: And what he say said, No, I'm studying.

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's been. He's been working really hard. And he

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: was at a friend's place last night and the dad

27
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: sent me a photo of him and two other friends

28
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: were around the table working heads down, doing practice papers,

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: all sorts of things, and I just it just hit

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: me because really, as a parent, and I guess for

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: the students, well for none of us. We haven't had

32
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: the markers this year that school is winding up. We

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: haven't had the final assemblies. We haven't had the final

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: day of school, the leaving of the school grounds, the

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: finale of muck up day. The students haven't had any

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: of that, and neither have parents to prepare you that

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: your child's finishing school. And it hit me yesterday and

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: I just thought all I thought of his first day

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: of school, his first day of high school. Wow, here

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: he is, he's doing his AHC. They didn't even have

41
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: the trials at his school. So suddenly here we are,

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: after the how hard the last months have been, here

43
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: is about to start the HC. And I had a

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: little cry, and just because of the enormity of my

45
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: youngest son, is finishing school and it's all about to

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: happen for him, and the resilience of him and all

47
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: his friends and everyone doing the HSC. How hard it is,

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: how strong you've been, how strange the times have been

49
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: for the last two years, year eleven and twelve, you've

50
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: really copped it. But just to be actually turning up

51
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: at school today, sitting down in a hall in a

52
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: mask and doing your HSC, there's strange times. But you

53
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: got here. And I wrote him a little note that

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: I left this morning hoping you'd see it. And my

55
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: mum used to say to me, get your piece of

56
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: paper in the world your oyster, and I always laughed

57
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: at it. And yet that's what I bought on his

58
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: note this morning, exactly that the worldA oyster. Go get

59
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: him and just hit me. Here is and here you

60
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: all are and just turning up and surviving. This is amazing.

61
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: Congratulations everybody. I know you've got a couple of tough

62
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: weeks ahead of you, but the world is your oyster.

63
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: Even if you don't like oysters, there it is. If

64
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: you don't like oysters, well I never did, which is

65
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 2: why I laughed at mum's phrase. But here I found

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: myself saying the same thing to my son Jack.

67
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: You mum, oh Brendan, well you know you're not an

68
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: Oyster fan, but I get. I get what I get

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: what you're doing.

70
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 2: It's a big day.

71
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: It's a massive day.

72
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: And for mums as well. Forget the students, it's all

73
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: about the mums. Jonesy and Amanda's ga
