 Mrs Moxey's Practice Competition

Every Term 2 Mrs Moxey runs a Practice Competition. The idea of this competition is to promote regular practice habits. It is judged on the number of days a student practises in a week over a period of six weeks. It has been proven that 60 minutes of practice on one day per week is not as beneficial as 10 minutes of practice, six times per week. 

 

This year there were four winners: 

Edward Chapman, Janagan Kandeepan, Mezen Jalal, William Lai 

These students all practised on every day of the 6-week period (42 days); an outstanding effort. 

Sophia Martin received an encouragement award for her efforts.
