Year 5 student Daniel practised times tables and built confidence with more complex multiplication, then moved on to adding and subtracting fractions as well as reading 24-hour time.
Year 10 student Isaac focused on analysing cinematic devices in The Princess Bride and developed his skills in political cartoon analysis using scene workbooks.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Vien prepared ideas and a main argument for a practice essay and refined responses for an upcoming English SAC by practising concise re-wording of sentences.
A Year 10 student hesitated to expand on ideas in English essays, sometimes leaving planning unfinished—he needs to think and plan faster on his own as well due to the time limit during the actual SAC.
In Year 8 maths, another student skipped homework practice after lessons, which led to forgotten steps when tackling multi-step problems later.
Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's spelling errors and hard-to-read handwriting slowed down both their essay writing and comprehension tasks; paragraphs often took extra time just to get through.
When exam stress hit in VCE English Language, fear of making mistakes led one student to avoid original examples in essay responses altogether.
A Selby tutor recently noticed one high school student who, after weeks of struggling to clarify her ideas in essays, was able to draft a well-structured introduction and now actively proofreads for clarity instead of skipping that step.
Another secondary student surprised himself by recalling details from earlier assessments during a quiz and confidently explained the strategies he used on his SAC—something he hesitated to do before.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has begun tackling new maths topics with less prompting, even choosing to try harder multiplication questions independently by the end of the session.
It takes a lot to do well in biology. Moving up the curriculum can be a challenge and if students don't jump in with both feet it's easy to fall behind.
