Clever Girl... >> Ambition >> SGHS

Some things you might remember about Sydney Girls' High School... (but probably won't ;))









Year 7
- shit, even
I can't think of anything to write about year 7...;
- I think we did hypnotism;
- 'Nigel' - the game where you run around on tables and have to stop the Nigel from getting up (it's actually fun, believe it or not ;));
- Orientation Camp and the imaginary boyfriend made up by Lucy Clevedon;
- Lisa's truth or dare.  "Tell us which teacher you'd sleep with or go pretend to have sex with a door";
- the way Emma would always fake being asleep during Truth or Dare;
- I think someone got their finger stuck in a door;
- and we made Emma levitate (not hard with a 32kg girl ;)) and Louise thought it was the work of the devil;
- office duty;
- fighting over lame stuff like who sat next to who in science;
- going into the lowers seemed scary;
- competitions to see who could remain silent for the entire
bus ride;
- the days when the school bully (you all know who I'm talking about ;)) was actually a friend;
- being a trendoid seemed cool;
- survivor swimming;
- and Shane and Angel's relationship problems were a cause for concern.

Year 8
