Any deadpool starting right NOW?

 

Australian socialite Lady Susan Renouf in palliative care with ovarian cancer and kidney failure, I guess even making it to the start of RadGuy's pool is a bit of a stretch.

The paedophile who molested former Greens leader Bob Brown, has died in jail.

Ian Douglas Davidson, 84, collapsed while getting on a truck to Long Bay prison hospital on Friday and died on Saturday.

Davidson was charged and convicted of six counts of indecent assault against Mr Brown when he was in Year Six in Armidale in the late 1950s.

"Year Six" what kind of stilted horseshit language is that. Shame on any country, culture, or society (or educational system) with such uppity snooty fuckall.

If they mean 6th Grade well goddamn SAY it. If you belong to said country culture or society (or educational system), hang yourself forthwith. Being attacked by paedophiles at that tender age is the LEAST of your problems.

I agree with you. We didn't have that terminology when I was at school. At secondary level we were first year or first form etc. But it was confined to school use. Outside of school, people used the kids' AGES to describe them. Nowadays I have no clue what age "Year Six" means.

I think you have to add five to the year number to give the age they will turn during that academic year. So for example year six pupils will have their 11th birthday and year eight pupils will have their 13th.

 

1-2 Primary school.

3-6 Junior school.

7-13 Senior school. (Or whatever they call 'em these days.)

Year Six is no worse a terminology than 6th grade (grade? what are they grading you on?).

 

And, for your elucidation and consideration, being attacked by paedophiles at age 11 is NEVER the least of your problems!

FWIW, it was always "Grade 6" when I was going to school in Australia back in my day.

Add five. [makes note] Thanks, Cat.

 

I never went to a junior school, just a primary school to the age of 11. Maybe it's a rural v urban thing.

 

I still don't understand why people can't just say the ages. If you're talking about seven-year-olds, why not say that instead of translating into school talk.

It's probably a parent thing where their whole lives seem to revolve around the school.

[Dr_T 254]

I don't understand why this is causing such interest. I am a product of the Australian school system (Qld) and the terms Grade 1 and Year 1 were used interchangeably. Year 1 was the first year in school, Year 2 the second and so on and so forth. I think Grade 1, 2, 3 etc is being used more frequently now that there is a Prep Year in most states which represents the first year of mandatory education. In terms of Junior School, Senior School etc, I don't think there is much of a distinction in state (government) schools other than Primary (Prep to Grade 6) and High School (Grades 7-12). These will most often be distinct schools in different locations. Private Schools will draw different boundaries (my nephews go to a private school which offers Grades 5-12 for example). In these schools they often talk about Junior School, Middle School and Senior School, but from what I know the distinction only defines minor things like lunch areas and assembly times etc.
