Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2014-2015)

Is it just my school where people start being prefects in the middle of Year 9 then haha? What sort of privileges do you get too? There isn't any to my knowledge at our school apart from a meal near the end of Year 11 and a different tie... :s

I suppose having control over the really cocky younger kids would be fun haha, I'm shorter than a lot of them though so I'd probably be trampled all over by them. One of my friends, on the other hand, is about 6 foot tall and he takes great pleasure in terrifying 12 year olds...

I guess prefecting just isn't for me hahaha, I just wondered since there's some people in my year who are quite obsessive over it and I wondered why :P

Oh and I go back properly on the 4th, only a week left of holiday. D:

Guys, I know this is thestudentroom and we're all education junkies...but who's excited for the relaxing/fun part of year 11? 'Sweet 16' parties, Prom, end of exams, last day, prepping for sixth form? Having more responsibility, so on and so on...I am anyway!

- Introduce yourself!
- What subjects are you taking?
- What are you hoping to do after finishing Year 11?
- What are your hobbies and interests?
- How do you feel about going into Year 11?

YAY PROM! YAY SIXTH FORM! I'm really really excited!

I think my mum is sick of hearing about the sixth forms that I am going to be applying to, aha

Haha my mum isn't, I'm just staying on because my school's pretty good :') I actually can't wait! My mum's letting me go full out, limo and all that if I want with some friends.

I know some people think it's a waste of money when you're 16, but it's one of the milestones we have and possibly the last time with close mates so why not!

My school doesn't have one (thankfully), so my parents have given me the choice, and I'm kind of obsessed with talking about it :P

You should definitely go full out for your birthday! You only get so many special occasions in your life to celebrate, especially milestones, so do it!

Personally, my extended family and I are just going to go out to an Italian restaurant together to celebrate my 16th birthday, but that's because it's what I wanted to do, as it's the only time that we ever really all get together. I think we're going on holiday next summer as a belated-birthday-post-gcse type celebration too, but that doesn't really count!

Oohh awesome! I would do a party, but I don't think I would know enough people to invite so I might just do a dinner with some friends or something...my birthday's in April so right in the middle of intense revision season :')

YAY PROM! YAY SIXTH FORM! I'm really really excited!

Mines in April too I might do the same even though everyone will be too worked up with revision that they won't be able to come

Yeah, it irritates me so much when people are really snobby about not going to prom? And I think me and my mates are getting a bus? Like not a fancy bus, you can hire sketty public transport buses for stuff so I reckon that's the way forward. :'D

Also what's it like being at an all-girls school? I can't imagine that at all omg I don't know if I'd love it or hate it :s

And has anyone else got an idea of what they want for prom dresses yet?

Ah that would be a proper laugh, have fun :')

Honestly, I think I prefer it....there are some lessons that I think, if guys were involved they would be awkward/pointless/irritating or just a pain to sit through. And I'm quite lucky in the fact that we have the boys' equivalent of my school in the same gates, right next to us. We share a canteen at different times and get the same buses and all that, so we still see the guys.

I honestly love it, you can have the choice of being with your girls or hanging out with the guys at different times :')

I want my dress to be blue I think....it's just a good colour for me, or maybe black hbu?

The way you put it having an all-girls school sounds pretty awesome? Like I'm used to always having boys around in lessons but they're so irritating sometimes omg, but then it'd be so weird if they weren't there haha

I love black dresses for prom personally, not so many people go for it so it stands out more. A girl at my school went in a full lace black dress to prom this year and it looked so amazing omg

I'm not sure about the colour yet, like dark green and burgundy are the best colours for me, but some styles only really suit paler colours. As for style, I'm tempted towards a long dress, but no idea what particular fit yet, I like mermaid silhouette ones but they can be way OTT with dumb netting and stuff, so maybe just a chiffon a-line one. It's a struggle haha, this is probably going to stress me out more than exams?

By extended family, I meant including my two great uncles, so that's about 9-10 people in total, haha Not quite a party, just a really large table! Mine is in November, so I'm hoping that I'm going to be free from revision around then.

Haha yeah, with me it's like if boys were there it would be weird because I'm so used to it :')

Yeah exactly, and I've been told I look good in black dresses so maybe that sounds gorgeous wow

I know, same...I'm going January shopping with my mum, loads of sales apparently I definitely want a long one, I think the short ones I've seen don't look as classy but I guess it depends on the dress...and I love chiffon everything so that'd be good

Well hopefully, apart from mocks sounds awesome, some proper family time and jokes!

I would LOVE to go to an all girls school. I love the traditionalism of it all - that, and boys are aggravating. I want to be a greenfly.

I would love to have quite a long dress, maybe in navy blue because apparently it's 'my colour', and something that actually looks like a 'proper' prom dress
