Suicide five?

Um... where on earth was this coined from?

First of all, saying they are the "five hardest subjects" is a personal view - they are considered the five hardest by many people (including me by the way), but this isn't necessarily true.

Second, should this term even be used?

I'll leave it there for now, and just make a minor adjustment, but hopefully somebody will come along to explain soon. Having finished year twelve recently, I must say I have never heard that expression before. GreenGopher 12:49, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The term was in popular use at my school. I've also heard it called, equally inappropriately, the 'Asian five'. I've encountered it in enough places to feel that rates a mention as a slang term. 121.44.112.195 23:38, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The term was very popular at my school, and still is within the community at my university when asked what subjects you took at high school. "The suicide five", "Oh, you mean Maths Studies, Specialist Maths, English Studies, Chemistry, and Physic?", "yeah".
It doesn't add anything to the article and if it's to be in the article at all it shouldn't be under "SACE Terms" since it's not an official SACE term. BobTheFish 09:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SACE ?

Is SACE an actual test on your selected subjects – or a project on the subjects to completed in your own time in Year 12?

The acronym refers to the certification proper. There is no official test for SACE. The applicant must complete 22 "units" (satisfactorily in at least 16) where the units must be chosen according to a subject pattern. The judgement of "satisfactory" is usually some combination of in-school assessment and "moderation" by the assessment board (SSABSA). BobTheFish 09:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Sace logo.png

Image:Sace logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
