Year 11 student Sam worked through adding and subtracting logarithms as well as simplifying surds, focusing on step-by-step algebraic methods.
In Year 10, Jasmine tackled arithmetic sequences and their application to real-life problems using formulae.
Meanwhile, Year 7 student Leo explored scientific notation and measurements of astronomical distances such as astronomical units (AU) and light years while learning key facts about the universe with practical examples.
A Year 11 student preparing for Mathematical Methods exams often relied on notes and formula sheets but, as one tutor noted, "skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors." This habit made it harder to spot mistakes during revision.
In Year 10 Chemistry, the written investigation lacked scientific terminology and clear extraction of key information from sources; this meant some criteria in the marking guide were missed.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's unfamiliarity with mathematical terms like "increase" or "total amount" led to confusion in multi-step word problems—especially under timed conditions.
A Kangaroo Point tutor recently noticed Olivia proactively identifying her own areas of difficulty in Chemistry and helping plan targeted revision sessions for her upcoming exams—something she was hesitant to do last term.
Meanwhile, Andrew, also in high school, showed real growth by recalling key maths concepts from the previous year and independently applying them during his pre-grade assessment, a shift from needing reminders before.
In primary years, Amelie now consistently asks clarifying questions when unsure about new topics rather than staying quiet or guessing; last week she confidently solved unfamiliar data analysis problems after seeking guidance.
