My school had this great thing each full term in which your house points were collected and placed into a box, and drawn out at random, in a raffle. If your name was called you got a prize :awesome:

I won something every single term :biggrin:

It wasn't difficult really :ahee:

Only my Primary school had houses, I was House Captain of St Georges! (Gryffindor) but now my secondary school has colleges, we don't even get points damn

Hahaha Best Asylum Seeker, that's just too much. My school's subject specific awards was invite-only and done with the school sponsors, those who haven't won an award haven't even heard of it's existence haha. I don't know why my school does it like that though.

We invite the winners and then they can bring people to celebrate :smile:

and it is... It's so awkward... :frown:

We get sponsors and they presented the awards :biggrin:

My current school does it like this too, but they invite all the nominees. And guess what? You have to freaking pay to attend your own damn prizegiving! It was like £20 to attend and you weren't even guaranteed an award.

Damn that just sucks, I'd rather not go and just get it given to me the next day:/ My school didn't even have nominees we got a little booklet with the people who were getting the awards, and the list of times everyone would go up. One kid kept going up for just about every single award, those £50s were really adding up.

We had a rehersal for our awards ceremonies at the end of the year :awesome:

The whole year would come down to the hall during lessons and be told not to be asshats in front of parents and governors, then sent away, before we were sat at the front, in order of our awards, and practised the acceptance with a deputy head (the governor would do it on the day). When we had multiple awards it got confusing though :tongue:

We were expected to be waiting at the edge of the stage by the time we were called :h:

So once we had our first award, we would sit at the back of the group and wait for the spot in which we needed to be next to open up :biggrin:

Haha, can't do much about it to be honest, all schools in this damn country are like that - money making corporations.

~~All the schools to which I've been haven't been like that at all I'm fairly certain it's illegal for state schools to make profit; only take money for costs.~~

Nevermind forgot you were in Thailand :tongue:

Yesss, ahaha. MASSIVE change from going to a grammar school that I never ever had to pay for to this overpriced private school that barely offers anything. :erm:

Grammar schools aren't commonplace anymore. There are only like 100 left in the country.

Yo. Long time no see! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do :tongue:

But why the **** am I in the Spanish section of the box? I don't even take Spanish! :lol:

What exams did you take,this June?I haven't seen you for ages-I think I may have the best results yet this August,I'm hoping for A*s all around but I would be so disappointed if my A* in English Language got moderated down and I haven't spent enough time on this new thread yet,I'm way down the posting leaderboard.I'm also extremely nervous to find out whether I have aced Science or failed again.To add to this,does anyone know any pure maths jobs? because I'm struggling to work out what job I want but I know I want a pure maths job,after graduating with a maths degree.

Isn't a grammar school the same as a private school though or are they completely different school types?-please explain the difference,if they are indeed different because I always thought they were synonyms of each other.
