Year 11 Visual Aids

Here are some fun photos where the Year 11's are proving that visual aids are a fantastic way to help with vocabulary learning.

Oh those Irregular French Verbs!

Students make cards in order to learn them, as well as make posters to remind them that repetition is the key to learning them. This is an example of the many practical and creative ideas we use to teach French at BSC in order for students to be ready for Senior French.

Japanese

The Japanese faculty is hosting an assistant teacher who helps out in a number of classes for nearly all of Term 3. Koki is already widely known and liked within the school community and we are very lucky to have him. He is also an excellent basketballer and has sometimes been able to help out in PASE classes. Attached is a little bit of info about him and a photo of him in action.
