Year 6 student Ryan focused on designing a dinner menu within a set budget, practising skills in decimal operations and real-life problem solving.

In Year 10, one student worked through questions on trigonometry and bearings, using diagrams to clarify angle calculations, while another prepared for an upcoming exam by reviewing algebraic equations and the application of index laws to simplify expressions. This mix of practical tasks and curriculum-based revision helped reinforce understanding across maths topics relevant to each year level.

In Year 11 Engineering, over-reliance on school-provided resources and not seeking clarification from teachers has slowed independent progress; as noted, "he must actively ask…what they expect/want" for assignments.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student working on algebra struggled with time management—too much time was spent searching for misplaced steps instead of practicing complex problems.

In Year 7 Science, motivation flagged during a research report task: minimal effort led to incomplete planning and limited engagement with the assignment's requirements.

For one primary learner, untidy handwriting in maths made it difficult to check answers or spot calculation errors when reviewing work.

A tutor in Cooroy Mountain noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling to start assignments independently, now participates actively in writing introductions and stays focused throughout the session.

In high school maths, one student who previously hesitated to attempt algebra on her own is now rearranging equations and plotting graphs without needing prompts.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to miss spelling errors is starting to pick up his own mistakes as he writes and even asks questions when unsure, instead of guessing.

Last week, another student finished all homework within the hour for the first time this term.
