Callum is doing well and Jon is a very approachable and professional teacherGeoff Doherty
Year 10 Ryan explored ratios, percentages, and decimal place value in maths, working through problems involving real-life contexts.
Year 11 tackled exponential probability distributions—specifically mean calculations—and revised polynomial long division as part of their functions unit.
For Year 12, recent sessions focused on engineering exam topics including bending moments, complex truss design using calculators, and a brief look at circuit theory and nuclear physics to support folio work.
A Year 11 engineering student was encouraged to "actively ask and bombard his teachers with questions," but hesitated to seek clarification on assignment expectations, which left him unsure how to tailor his work.
In a senior maths session, over-reliance on school resources prevented a student from independently problem-solving during exam preparation—he avoided working through unfamiliar processes without prompts.
Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner often focused only on routine questions and shied away from more challenging data analysis tasks, limiting their growth.
One tutor noted, "he still needs to improve his time management and productivity," especially in balancing research and writing for assignments.
A tutor in Nambour noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to speak up now openly asks for clarification when unsure, especially during algebra work—something she avoided last term.
Another high school student, after often rushing and missing errors in her maths assignments, took the initiative to check and correct her own mistakes before submitting homework, showing more care and independence.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with spelling is now picking up his own errors mid-sentence without prompting; he finished his story draft today after confidently correcting three tricky words himself.
