Leader of Learning
Mrs Lynne Slater
Year 7 and Year 8
Assessment blocks will run in Weeks 5 and 6 of this term. Notifications for all tasks are linked to the Assessment Schedules. Class teachers will go over the finer details of each task in class. It is important that students be in attendance for all exams.
Keeping up with class notes, asking clarifying questions during class time, and ensuring all homework is complete are the best ways to prepare for these tasks. Both Year 7 and Year 8 are trialling MathsOnline this term, so this will serve as a supplementary resource to the work provided during class. Logins and passwords are available via the Mathematics teachers. Students can access the site via this link: https://www.mathsonline.com.au/
Our new Year 12
A reminder that your ATOMI subscription has now been rolled over into Year 12 course content. It is an excellent resource for regular revision. Please do not hesitate to see Mrs Slater if you need assistance logging in.
