Peter is doing s great job. I think we are making some good progress!Kate, Castlecrag
Year 7 student Luca worked on factorisation of algebraic expressions, practising with step-by-step problems, and was introduced to solving inequalities, including representing solutions on the number line.
Year 6 student Felix focused on converting between improper and mixed fractions as well as building confidence with subject-verb agreement in grammar tasks.
For Year 3 student Mika, recent lessons included reading comprehension strategies using his homework book and recognising verb endings and sentence types through targeted practice.
In Year 10 English, one student struggled to link poetic techniques with deeper meanings, often repeating points in paragraph conclusions. As the tutor noted, "he merely rewrote the question into a vague answer without incorporating explanations."
In Year 8 Maths, another student rushed through composite area problems—losing track of which faces belonged where and mislabelling sides when prisms became complex. This led to repeated confusion during multi-step calculations and less confidence under exam pressure.
Meanwhile, in Year 6, incomplete homework became a pattern; despite scaled-down tasks, it remained unfinished, making it difficult to build consistent habits between sessions.
A tutor in Castlecrag noticed that one high school student, Nick, who previously struggled with box-plot analysis, now independently explains interquartile ranges and can draw pareto charts while connecting cumulative percentages to real data sets.
Another older student, Nikolai, used to rush through measurement questions but now paces himself deliberately and successfully tackles complex surface area problems involving pyramids and cones—he even wrote a well-structured thesis paragraph for a history essay after initial uncertainty.
Meanwhile, in a younger session, Mika shifted from hesitating with skip counting to confidently generating his own number patterns and creating original story ideas during reading tasks.
No one has doubts about the importance of English in the Australian school curriculum. Not only is it a mandatory subject to complete year 12, but it's a useful life skill. Verbal and written language skills are crucial in the information age. Comprehending texts, textual analysis, structuring written reports, refining creative processes and applying a structure to them, articulating thoughts concisely ... these skills are going to be useful in just about any career path. Of course, it all starts in the school classroom.
