Year 7 student Willow focused on mastering operations with fractions—including simplifying, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing—plus converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

In Year 10, Jeremy worked through Pythagoras' Theorem and practiced measurement geometry skills like finding area and volume of shapes in preparation for his semester exam.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia tackled drawing and interpreting scatterplots by labelling axes accurately and analysing the strength and direction of correlations within different data sets.

A Year 12 student entered exam preparation with only basic notes, leaving them unprepared for the deeper, multi-step questions—"I tried to prepare for the basics in all the year 12 curriculum that I wasn't prepared for the in depth exam questions."

In Year 10 algebra, a student hesitated to show working out, which made it harder to spot and fix sign errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student forgot her exercise book and paper during an area lesson; calculations couldn't be attempted at all.

In English (Year 7), another struggled to structure written responses into paragraphs despite being given examples.

One Casuarina tutor recently noticed **Jeremy now catches his own algebra mistakes** and corrects them with little prompting—something he struggled with at first when he needed step-by-step guidance.

Willow, also in high school, is starting to **independently apply fraction conversion methods** that she found confusing only a few sessions ago; she now confidently works through grade-level worksheets without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Bella in primary school has begun **re-reading her writing to spot grammar issues herself**, instead of waiting for feedback—last week she proofread and improved her story draft before handing it in.
