Year 11 student Annabelle focused on probability topics, working through Venn diagrams, two-way tables, and set notation using real examples.

For Year 12, Sam tackled anti-differentiation and definite integrals, practicing their application to complex area-under-curve problems.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ben reviewed trigonometric ratios—sine, cosine, and tangent—and applied SOH CAH TOA strategies to solve unknown sides in triangles as well as inverse functions for finding angles.

In Year 11 Maths Methods, forgetting to bring class notes and resources ("forgot for the first lesson") made revision less effective—this left gaps when tackling exam-style questions later in the week.

A Year 10 student's algebra was hard to follow: "Setting out and making sure their working is understandable needs improvement," so errors were hidden until feedback time.

In Year 3 reading, guessing unfamiliar words instead of sounding them out meant tricky texts felt overwhelming and progress slowed during shared reading tasks.

For a senior student, skipping full practice papers under timed conditions meant unexpected stress during recent exams.

A tutor in Cashmere noticed one high school student who used to struggle with trigonometry now confidently identifies when to use SOH CAH TOA and can solve worded problems with only minimal help.

Another older student, after having trouble rearranging trig equations, is now attempting them independently and using Pythagoras' theorem without hesitation.

For a younger learner, there's been a shift from shying away from reading to tackling tricky words out loud and sticking with activities until every card is sorted—something she previously resisted. Last week, she read her entire reader aloud after just a little prompting.
