Year 4 student Erin focused on improving multiplication and division of whole numbers, along with practising strategies to remember times tables.

For Year 9, Ayelet worked through simplifying surds and indices, including operations like addition, subtraction, and the application of index laws.

Meanwhile, Codi in Year 11 revised circular functions ahead of an exam and explored stationary points in context problems using diagrams for clarity.

A Year 9 student often hesitated to ask for help in class, especially when stuck on factorisation involving higher powers; as a tutor noted, "he needed reassurance it was okay not to get it right away."

In VCE English, another student's ideas were strong but she struggled to communicate them concisely—her writing sometimes became overly wordy and lost impact.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student relied heavily on calculators for basic times tables rather than practicing pen-and-paper skills.

During homework revision in Year 5 mathematics, skipping written working led to confusion with fractions and errors went unnoticed until prompted.

A Year 10 student, who used to hesitate when faced with surds and relied heavily on her calculator, is now confidently simplifying surds and performing more mental calculations each session.

In English, a senior student made a real shift—she not only embedded quotes accurately in her essays but started offering her own unique interpretations of complex texts rather than just echoing feedback.

Meanwhile, one primary student set herself the challenge of finishing division speed rounds faster; last week she completed all questions in two minutes without needing to check her notes.
