Year 8 student Sam focused on solving quadratic equations using completing the square and reviewed foundational concepts in quadratics.

In Year 10, Kagan practised balancing redox reactions in Chemistry and worked through Maths questions involving tricky logarithmic functions.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student revised financial mathematics topics like annuities and compound interest, and also explored network theory with practice problems to strengthen understanding.

Several students across Years 4–11 missed homework, which impacted lesson progress—one Year 9 student "had not done any of the homework assigned either," leaving gaps in practice before moving to new topics.

Organization and focus remain challenges: a Year 8 student often arrived with incomplete notes and struggled to keep work structured, while another in Year 7 was "very distracted and very easily loses focus," leading to repeated small errors during algebra tasks.

In senior Chemistry, one Year 11 needed guidance on assignment structure, unsure how to apply ISMG criteria without teacher prompts. This left her anxious when drafting responses under time pressure.

A Middle Ridge tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to make frequent careless errors now catching these on his own, especially in algebra work.

Another high schooler recently completed all her homework and practised the times tables independently—something she'd avoided before—and even finished her tables much faster than last term.

Meanwhile, a younger student who previously guessed at answers during sessions is now sitting still and talking through her thinking aloud when stuck, instead of rushing or giving up; this week she asked for clarification on an integer question rather than moving on uncertainly.
