Year 5 student Molly revised perimeter and area for various shapes using practice questions, while Year 8 Lerato focused on identifying PEEL paragraph elements in her English essay and also asked about calculating simple percentages.
In Year 10, Hayden worked through feedback on his analytical essay draft, specifically developing arguments and refining grammar.
A Year 11 student in McDowall showed hesitation with independent problem-solving, particularly when she struggled to approach complex index law questions without prompts. This reliance on step-by-step guidance led to unfinished homework and missed opportunities for feedback before assessments.
In Year 8 English, one student's draft essays were often completed just before deadlines—meaning there was little time left for editing or refining arguments.
Another senior chemistry student frequently paraphrased resources incorrectly in assignments, risking unintentional plagiarism.
In a Year 6 maths session, getting frustrated after small mistakes meant focus was lost mid-task and required extra encouragement to return to the work at hand.
One Mcdowall tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to avoid asking for help now talks through each step of complex trigonometry problems aloud, catching more mistakes before they happen.
Another high schooler recently finished her chemistry report independently, having previously struggled to organise her research; she came to the session with specific questions written out and only needed minor guidance.
Meanwhile, a primary student who found rotations overwhelming last term was able to recall and apply the correct sequence for rotating shapes on her own after practicing breaking down the process into smaller steps.
