关于JR的课外活动，
http://www.jamesruse.nsw.edu.au/cocurricular/cadets

Students at James Ruse AHS not only excel academically, they participate in a vibrant array of co-curricular activites in sport, music and performing and creative arts as well as in a range of cultural and social activities.  These make our school a fun place to learn, to be challenged and to exceed expectations.

Before school, recess, lunch and after school, James Ruse AHS  is abuzz with student clubs, workshops, performances, competitions, Olympiad preparations and various enrichment and extension activities. Students love being in Cadets, the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, Waterwatch, Interact, Amnesty International. They enjoy knitting blankets and trauma teddy bears as part of the Knit-Wits group.

Students can join our stage or concert bands, orchestra, string and jazz ensembles or our choir. The Bandalism program and the Year 7 training band caters especially for those who enter the school not yet playing a musical instrument. There are numerous concerts throughout the year as well as debating and public speaking, writing competitions, mock trials, voice classes and a range of drama activities.

The Student Representative Council and the prefect body work hard to maintain a passionate, supportive school spirit. Both groups run numerous fun activities throughout the year. These include sporting events such as three-on-three basketball as well as musical events including talent quests and dance and band battles.  The student body raises thousands of dollars each year in support of charities and a student in Lebanon.

We have a strong focus on student leadership and on promoting positive values, developing a sense of global citizenship. Year 9 and 10 students access a long term formal Student Leadership Program with a community service component. Students chair each of the  13 school governance committees as well as participating in a range of other leadership programs. There are varied mentoring and support programs to look after  the emotional needs of gifted and talented students, guided by the welfare team.

D妈妈提到HD同学喜欢的Cadet，看起来应该是比较MAN的一项活动哈。

谢谢分享，估计自己被周围朋友们的孩子给误导了，没听说他们参加活动，有的只是补习。这样影响看法了。

JR 的学业名气太响了；其他的精彩，外人不可知啊。还有 Duke of Edinburgh 也很有挑战性的吧。。。

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme has operated at the school for many years and there is always an enthusiastic and substantial number of students engaged in it.  There are three levels of the Award - gold, silver and bronze - with participants setting themselves personal challenges at each level in each activity.

There are four sections which are designed to present a balanced program of personal development:

    Service:  designed to develop and encourage a sense of community spirit and responsibility to others
    Adventurous Journey:  designed to encourage a spirit of adventure and discovery
    Skill:  designed to encourage the development of personal interests and practical skills
    Physical:  designed to encourage participation in physical recreation and improvement in fitness and performance

At the Gold level there is a further requirement to undertake a residential project.

Participants design their own program and select activities which interest them. There are minimum requirements of time in each section and at each level, outlined in the record book.

Enrolment in the scheme costs $70.00 upon payment of which participants receive a personal record book. This is the record of achievement and has to be maintained by the participant and signed off by assessors when a section is completed. When all sections have been fulfilled the record book is handed in and processed for the Award to be received. Bronze and Silver awards are presented at school assemblies while presentation of the Gold award is usually made by the Governor of NSW at a ceremony at Government House. In the past our students have also received their Gold Awards from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and also from HRH Prince Edward, who is the sponsor of the Scheme. Many students have completed the Scheme and continued to utilise the skills they gained from their involvement.

The Scheme is extremely enjoyable and participants remember with great pleasure some of the experiences they undergo particularly in the expedition section. The Scheme is highly regarded internationally and is favourably viewed when scholarship applications being considered.

我家有才说CHATSWOOD HIGH的比JR的好。

还是jr的智商高一点， chatswood high 整一个不伦不类的copy 件

我喜欢sbh，jr那个排名搞得小孩很紧张。我对小男孩对女同学说 I beat you this time in math or whatever 非常反感。

这个要去的话，七年级就赶紧进去。

当初有才特别想参加SBH的CADET，但因为年龄小的关系七年级没进去。八年级时，他的同学已经升职了，他不想去当下属就干脆放弃了。挺可惜的我觉得。

zjrlisa

哈哈，这个CADET果然很受男孩子欢迎呵。是不是有组织野外露营啥的？

不是. 每周六体育比赛时,没理由而缺勤者,才罚跑步和收垃圾.

据我知道，

jr的 排名只在每个人的report上，在低年级根本没有按排名分班。如果你不说是没人知道的。只要家长不给压力，大多数小孩也不会太在意的--这就是兔小弟说的，压力来自于家长。
sbh可是实实在在的根据每次考试成绩的排名分班的。我认识的一个小孩因为没考好，数学从好班调到了差班，怕被家长责骂，一直没敢说。

原来是这样啊。谢谢扫盲。反正不喜欢排名。更不喜欢男孩和女孩比，这种事事都要和人比高低的男孩，将来做谁的Hubbie合适呢？呵呵。

也许只是玩笑吧，时不时会有其他男孩(或女孩，极少数）对我孩子说类似的，他总是䇯䇯肩笑着说：nothing serious, they r just joking ，搞得好像我很没风度，呵呵

我认为还是JR的做的有创意。我三岁半的小儿子都会唱JR的style了，尤其那句“100 ATAR 99.95 Not Good Enough”

还是在QLD学习没有压力些， BGS 按选学的外语来分班。不按成绩。

无奈？

花妹：岂止无奈。
姐我原想在明年1月，跟随2个孩子的脚步，开一个跨2年的大帖（preliminary & HSC 2 years)“99.95是怎样炼成的” 。形式为日记体，效仿gdg先生的那个帖，但会比他那个更加全面，开放，无保留，包括我全部已知材料的上传（不仅是JR的，也包括我自己长期的搜集），甚至具体到每日的topic学习，2年后或许能混个金靴啥的穿，同时也是对2个双胞胎儿女的心路历程的记载，或许多年以后她们能边读边挑剔一把，偏点眼泪出来也说不定。

但看了这个帖，姐我知道我会被拍死死死死死的很惨。
