STUDENT PERSPECTIVE
PRIMARY REFLECTION HARPER & CORMAC PREP STUDENTS
This Term has been so fun! We've learned a lot.
In the Coles shop, we played shopping. We used play money to buy food. It was fun to pretend to be the person who works at Coles and give people their change. We learned that food costs different amounts. Some things are cheap, like apples, and some things are more expensive, like cakes! Alisha set up our Coles shop in the Learning Street to play with. We had all different types of boxes and containers that had different pretend foods and drinks in them. In Maths, we did division with teddies. We sorted our teddies into groups. It was fun and easy to do with our teddies. We love our Year 4 buddies. They help us with our work and play with us outside in the playground. We ’ ve been learning about being kind and making good choices with SWPBS. Our buddies are really nice and helps us learn as well. In PMP, the Year 6 helpers taught us how to jump, skip, and throw and catch a ball. We can jump higher now, and we like throwing the ball to our friends. This Term is awesome! We can ’ t wait for the Colour Run next Thursday on the 28 th November.
SECONDARY REFLECTION JOSH Q YEAR 11 STUDENT
Year 11 VCE has been a challenging but transformative year for us. The jump from Year 10 to VCE felt overwhelming at first, as the workload and expectations were significantly higher. We quickly realised how important it is to stay organised and manage our time effectively, as balancing six subjects, SACs, and revision required a lot of discipline. One of the toughest parts was learning to deal with the pressure of assessments and the constant push to perform at my best. However, we found that seeking support from teachers, friends, and family made a big difference, and we slowly gained confidence in our abilities. Subjects that initially seemed impossible to grasp became more manageable with persistence and consistent effort. Despite the challenges, Year 11 has been a year of growth. We ’ ve discovered new ways to learn, improved our study habits, and gained a deeper understanding of what we ’ re passionate about. It ’ s been rewarding to see the hard work pay off, whether in achieving good results or just feeling proud of our progress. Beyond academics, this year has taught us a lot about resilience and the importance of balance—making time for hobbies, friends, and rest has kept me from getting overwhelmed. Reflecting on this year, I feel more prepared for the challenges of Year 12, knowing that we ’ ve built a strong foundation and learned valuable lessons about ourselves. While it hasn ’ t been easy, I ’ m grateful for the experiences and the personal growth Year 11 has brought.
