Rather average because I wasn’t always trying. I wasn’t thinking about my future and what good grades would mean. If I knew then what I know now, I would have tried to get the best grades possible. Not that it has held me back, just meant I had to go about things a bit differently to get to uni. That’s where I really blitzed it!

I did pretty well – usually got marks between 80-90%. I worked hard, but often left things til the last minute (I’m very good at getting distracted or putting things off), so I probably could have done better. I enjoyed school, was lucky to have great teachers who loved their subjects. That helps.
I talked to much in class, was a bit cheeky to my teachers sometimes and OMG, the number of notes I passed… Might be responsible for a few hundred trees.

I did really well up through high scchool, but uni was a lot more challenging. I didn’t learn physics or maths nearly as well as I should have (partly because I was also studying Greek and Roman history and literature at the same time), and that really caused problems once I got to postgraduate school. In fact, I had to retake several different classes, and I didn’t pass my PhD qualifying exams until my third try!

My first school, walked part of the way (around 1 – 2 Km) and then had a ride for the rest of the way. My second school, walked (about 2Km).
I stated walking to my third school (which was in the city – the others were in the Adelaide hills) but then learnt to ride a bike, so it was bicycle from there on.

Ha, funny @Peter.
At school I think I was a mix of everyone else. I was very similar to @Mia doing pretty good but leaving everything to the last minute (I just thought thats what was supposed to happen :)) I really enjoyed chemistry because I had wonderful teachers that let us have cake in the lab (probably illegal now :S)
I found maths difficult but struggled through to I could do better at physics.
I always loved PE, sports and outdoor education classes. Perhaps thats why I ended up doing science in the army.
I found many of my friends who didn’t do well at school became really good at university once they started doing something they loved. Once you find that, you’ll never have a problem studying or working long hours again.
