Personal Student Number?

    Hi guys, today I was applying for a plc portfolio course, and came across something that asked me to fill in my "Personal Student Number or PSSN/RSI".

    Would that be my LC number (the one you write in every exam)? Cuz that's all I have... I lost my damn sheet with all the other info. Also happened to lose my journal. Something's seriously wrong with me ffs :mad:

    Any help would be appreciated :D

    Oh I see... thank you for the answer. Although I don't see why they'd ever need my PPSN... eh whatever suits them.

    They have to send them into the Department I think.
    I know we collect them in our school too, though I'm not involved in whatever happens them afterwards.

    It's just for tracking purposes / DES doing up stats / stuff like that.

    More and more we will become "just a number" I'm afraid. While I can see the usefulness in one way, in another way it kind of irritates me.


    Yours numerically,
