I live in Perth where this guy is from, and Wesley is one of the most expensive and most highly regarded schools around. Given the sentiment of the headmaster, I'm not surprised it's doing so well... Seeing beyond "get my school's average up" and seeing genuine talent and potential, then fostering it - that's the sort of school I'd send my one-day kids to.
I went to school with Lachy and it was really great to see the complete support of the head (Mr. Gee) behind his endeavours. Also this isn't a once off occasion that he has helped and supported students. My brother during his final year was heavily involved in Cycling at a national level. His commitment was at school was minimum, Gee saw this and helped the best he could. Plus he has an uncanny ability to greet every…
My kids have gone to more schools than I care to consider (I'm military): the headmaster's ability to remember kids' names is a minimum necessary sales tactic. Of, oh my, 10? headmasters, they all know my kids by name on an impromptu basis. I wouldn't make too much out of it.

#63I want to know how he was able to so easily become an affiliate on Amazon...? (As a fellow Australian) I tried a few years ago and Amazon wouldn't even allow me to purchase advertising (let alone join the affiliate program or sell) without having US tax numbers, bank accounts, etc.. I have an Australian pty ltd company and had to go through a third parties to get my products listed on there.

An incredibly flawed and ridiculous argument. Flaw 1: You imply that no illegal immigrants are talented, or contribute to U.S. society. Flaw 2: Your argument presupposes that providing legal status, financial aid and work permits to illegal immigrants will prevent talented people from wanting to work in the U.S. Flaw 3: Providing work permits, financial aid and legal status to illegal immigrants is done for many reas…
Quoting chris_wot1: Flaw 1: I didn't say no illegal immigrants are talented. Let's say odds for an illegal immigrant to be talented is 50/50, while we know skilled workers like this kid is 100% talented (track record proven so far) -- so why makes it easy for the former group but not the latter? Flaw 2: If there are slots available, they should be allocated to talented individuals. Evidence has shown many entrepreneu…
For flaw 1 and 2, show me the evidence backing your claim. For flaw 3, your point doesn't respond to my point, in that there are a whole bunch more reasons why Obama allowed through illegal immigrants.
Your reasoning isn't much better than "those skilled immigrants are taking our jobs"
Re: This teenager is hot property in Silicon Valley
#66And with talented kids like him around, Obama decides to give work permit, financial aid, and legal status to illegal immigrants?

He wasn't selling products on amazon, just linking to products that were already for sale and getting paid by Amazon for the traffic. See "product links" on this page: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join/land...

Schools vary. Possibly by geographic location and size. Having 1500 or so students doesn't help.
I went to a similar school (as in, really expensive) as the OP in Melbourne. The principal was universally well regarded, and even got a Member of the Order of Australia (a couple of steps below a knighthood) for his contribution to education, but he knew very few of us students by name.
When I was at uni, I noticed a Who's Who book in the library, and flicked it open to the page that my old principal was on...

Yes.. this is an Amazon affiliate program, you will require a US credit card, US bank account and US postal address to join this program. ie. for when they pay you your commissions it needs to be reported.
If you are not from the US, these things are not easy to obtain.
And last I checked they wouldn't even allow me to buy Amazon PPC advertising without these things either!
