One Million Questions

The end of 2018 is drawing near and Languages students are getting ready to demonstrate their learning.

The Year 12 French students, Pat Leslie, Ashleigh Pope and Corinna Toumasiou, have completed their Oral Exam and their Written Examination is one of the final VCAA exams this week. We wish them well and are very proud of their commitment to their studies especially when they were prepared to come to extra conversation sessions run by Madame Farrell, Madame Pradier and our French assistant, Mélodie Malartre.

Junior and Middle School students are completing their final Common Assessment Tasks. Throughout the year, a work requirement preparing them for their CATs has been the completion of learning activities using the online learning tool Education Perfect.

I received notification from Education Perfect this week informing me that our students of French and Indonesian have now answered 1,000,000 questions this year.

Here is feedback from some of the students who are using this tool:

Education Perfect is great. It’s an easy way to learn and we get little hints along the way to help us. - Keely M

It was very helpful for my Indonesian learning. - Kane P

It is amazing and the best language app ever. So happy this app was invented. - Zara F

I like it. It is a fun way to learn French. I think the questions should be a little bit quicker but it is still great now. - Reuben H

I like how it shows you the answer so you can go back and do that, and it lets you learn a lot of new words in Indonesian. - Hayley P

It makes learning fun. - Phoebe H

I really like Education Perfect and think it is a great way to learn! - Caitlin A

Wow! Great lesson! - Mitchell M

It helps me learn a lot of French and helps me remember it! Chloe C

Ed Perfect is amazing. - Kenisha V

Education Perfect is very helpful and has helped me learn much more French than I would’ve without it. - Angus B

Education Perfect is fun because learning is fun J - John C

This is awesome, I absolutely love it J 10 out of 10. It’s awesome because of how much I learn. – Jesse D
