Year 6 student Mehar focused on measuring and classifying angles using a protractor, as well as revising long division methods.

In Year 11, Gavin worked through graphing logarithmic and exponential functions by analysing how transformations shift graphs, and also practised anti-differentiation techniques for calculus.

Alexander in Year 12 prepared for a physics exam by tackling kinematics problems involving constant acceleration and forces on inclined planes, along with reviewing momentum transfer during collisions.

A Year 8 student arrived without completed homework or organised notes, leading to gaps when revising area and perimeter formulas—"he did not have his own notes written down but follows teacher notes," making it harder to review later.

In Year 11 Maths Methods, a student's struggle with matrix multiplication revealed that incomplete personal notes and missing practice meant new concepts like transformations remained confusing.

During a Year 12 Physics session, test errors traced back to misapplied formulas—without deeper understanding or careful revision, he substituted the wrong values despite memorising terms. These moments left students stalled mid-question, unsure how to move forward independently.

One Pakenham Upper tutor noticed Omita, a primary student, now justifies his answers out loud when challenged on tricky area problems—a big step up from when he would simply guess and move on.

In Year 10 maths, Gavin showed new independence with quadratic inequalities; after struggling to link the discriminant to solution numbers last term, he confidently explained the reasoning behind his answers without prompting.

Meanwhile, Alex (Year 12) recalled not only which kinematic equations apply to different motion scenarios but also why energy conservation matters—something he'd previously mixed up—demonstrating this by choosing the right formula for a complex practice exam question.
