As we near the end of Term 3, all our Year 12 content has been covered and assessments have been completed.  Congratulations to all our Year 12 students!  I would like to wish our ATAR students all the best for their upcoming Mock exams.  For the ATAR students who have attended the recently held revision seminars, run by Charlie Watson, now is the time to practise some of the strategies that you have learned.  I encourage all students to spend time working through previous examinations, as this will assist in your preparation and boost your confidence.  Furthermore, it is vital that you have all necessary equipment for your exams.  Don’t forget to take well written notes; batteries for your calculator/s; a ruler; a highlighter; and a positive attitude.

It has been great working with a group of Year 5 students this term, in the primary school academic excellence program.  Students have been developing their reasoning and problem solving skills, whilst having some creative fun, too! I was impressed with their abilities to manipulate numbers and shapes, and resilience in persevering with the set tasks.
