Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

I recall a match when the Cranleigh parents were sent away from the touchline!

I havn't been on here for ages. Well, a week. I have honestly been run off my feet, I didn't touch my laptop for three days. Which is saying something. All my coursework has been handed in. All of it, so I'm pretty damn skippy about that. I can just relax a bit before the revision rush kicks in. Is it like this at Christ's Hospital. The coursework all gets handed in and then it turns into a huge rush to revise until one in the morning. It might not though, if there are curfews, though I really don't know.

Its not long now, all I have to worry about is whether I am going to take the easy option in Latin and do 'Roman Life topics' or whether I shall take the infamous ( in my school anyway ) paper 3. which noone has taken at GCH before.

Was anyone in brazil recently?. I was on the news. It was pretty embarrasing but hey. There's a clip on the net and I have a huge closeup. Its horrible.

How do exams work at Christ's Hospital. I mean, at our school we 'leave' school about two weeks before they start and then only come in for the actual exams. I understand it would not be like that in any respect but It does make me curious what happens. Does everyone just flock to the library in between exams or are lessons suspended during.

um well, during exams you don't have lessons after a certain date, people either revise in their studies/houses or in the library. I don't really remember much about revising, but I do remember my friends and I (aka those I was living with) taking our revision breaks at the same time so we didn't distract one another.

hhhmm, revision, exams. agh.

If you have a few days between exams some people prefer to go home to study.

If at school you`re "expected" to follow school dress code, times etc- i.e. in uniform when out of House during lesson times, join lunch parade as usual, be in either your own room or the library during lesson times, and not laze in bed all day!

Of course it`s quite useful to stay at school and then, if you have a problem with revision, staff are on hand to help.

We all stayed at CH during our exams and revised in our studies or wherever. I do remember after my exams had finished I went to stay with my boyfriend at the time (an OB) at Southampton uni. I do remember being quite economical with the truth as regards telling my housemistress (EAL) where I would actually be though Of course we had to be back a couple of days before the end of term.

i dont think we were allowed home until once the exams had finished! Also many teachers would still be around when you wuld have had lessons with them so you can talk to them about anything or go over anything!
My final a level was an english exam on the very last day of the exams and it was really annoying as some people had been finished for week and we had to keep working!

Um... Hello.

Long time since I've ventured on here.
Good times.

I'm about to do my exams and that's all well and boring. I still don't know anything about what house I will be in, but I will post that as soon as I get a letter. It will be nice to hear some things about where exactly I will be staying.

I am getting braces though. Which is rather annoying since I will 99% be wearing them for most of my time at CH. I think CH has a dentist but is it ok to leave the school for dentist appointments if your appointments are in london?.

Can you have blue and yellow sticky bits? (school colours) My son had orange ones at Hallowe'en then changed to red for Christmas. then green (his favourite colour) for the rest of the time.

I always preferred a belt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is about getting blue and yellow sticky bits on braces makes it look like you are 7 and have mouldy teeth. Not quite the impression I want to portray.

Oh, and I prefer belts too.

Fair enough

Sorry Marr !

Gemma knows which side her bread is buttered !

Braces in the States are known as suspenders, and I'm not even going to go there !!

That's quite weird. Suspenders eh?. Swanky.

I just got back from the theatre, I saw Mary Poppins, it was really good but I wonder if anyone on here saw it?. I highly reccomend if nobody has.

Apparently (yesterday's Indy) the LOndon threatres give theatre vouchers to the cabbies so they can tell their passengers what is good. and Mary Poppins is one of the most popukar among the cabbies. Tehy can go and see anything and one went to the Opera and really enjoyed it.

I know braces *which hold trouser (pants?) up are suspenders (I lived in the US for 4 years) and what we call suspender belts are called garter belts over there.

Braces for teeth are braces tho'..

It's sor tof like the problem with trousers and 'pants' when you are in America. It's far too confusing. When I was on holiday there I was always looking for toilets because I had no clue what a 'restroom'was.
