Here is an example of an Australian report card:

“In English, Sarah is having a rip snorter. Sure, she had a barry crocker on her recent exam, but if she doesn’t drop her bundle, she’ll be apples.”

Aussie Slang Translation:

rip snorter = doing great!

barry crocker = shocker! (not doing well)

doesn’t drop her bundle = manages to stay on task

she’ll be apples = it will all be okay.
