Congratulations to 7 to 10 on finishing their Final Examinations. For many students, the period after exams marks the end of late-night study sessions, revision notes, and the nervous anticipation of test papers. Yet, in truth, the end of exams is not the end of learning but another chapter in our ongoing journey of growth.
In the Mathematics Department, our teachers will continue teaching content that will be important for next year:
- - Year 7 will start their unit on measurement which includes the area of quadrilaterals, converting units, composite shapes and finding the volume and capacity of solids.
- - Year 8 will begin transformations and congruence; this unit provides the foundation for the properties of geometrical figures.
- - Year 9 will learn about the properties of geometrical figures and probability & statistics.
- - Year 10 will prepare for their Year 11 courses in either Mathematics Standard, Advanced or Extension 1.
So as the stress of exams dwindles, let us continue to encourage our students not to slow down. These final weeks are a valuable time to consolidate understanding, explore new ideas, and strengthen good study habits. Let's help them approach each lesson as an opportunity to learn with purpose, so that when the holidays arrive they can rest well knowing they have finished the term with diligence and satisfaction.
As Proverbs 1:5 reminds us, “Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.”
