Class Of 2023 Peer Tutors

Our Class of 2023 Peer Tutors are expanding their program

From Term 3, Ryan, Lucy and Tara will be available to both Year 11 and 12 students (including Year 10 students studying a Unit 1/2 subject).

Year 11 students, find out what happens in Year 12 and beyond by students who have recently finished. You can ask our tutors about exams, university life, help with your studies, and so much more. They are more than happy to help you make your senior school experience and beyond as perfect as can be.

There is no need to book, just come along to the Library at lunch time or after school (from 3:30pm until 4:30pm) on Wednesdays during term time, to have a chat!
