Year 9 student Sami focused on the application of trigonometric ratios and their use in real-world problems, alongside revision of linear equations.

For Year 11, Bea worked through differentiation techniques including finding derivatives from first principles and graphing derivative functions to deepen understanding of calculus concepts.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex tackled vector addition and scalar multiplication in Specialist Maths, then moved onto exploring the Pigeonhole Principle using practical examples.

In Year 8, one student consistently relied on a calculator for basic multiplication and squares, even during tasks like "times tables and square root equations," slowing progress on complex test questions.

A Year 10 student was asked to bring missing materials—"Bring Notebook to next session"—after arriving unprepared for note-taking and revision planning.

A tutor in Molonglo Valley noticed Sami took the initiative to create his own extra questions for parabolas after struggling with textbook examples—he said this helped him finally understand tricky problems and later scored 71% on his maths exam, surpassing his goal.

Rory wrote continuously for nearly an hour during English tutoring (previously distracted after just twenty minutes), producing a full draft and receiving positive feedback from his teacher.

In Year 6 maths, Lorcan kept retrying a tough algebra question he would have skipped before and eventually found the pattern himself.
