Parents, quick one for you. 🗣️

We're into the back half of Term 3, which is usually when families start thinking about what comes next. So we're curious.

👇 Type A or B in the comments:

A) Consolidate. My focus is making sure they've properly locked in what they've learned this term before the class moves on.

B) Get ahead. My focus is building momentum now so next term feels easier.

Both are good answers, genuinely. Families who consolidate tend to close gaps that would otherwise compound. Families who push ahead tend to buy their kids breathing room later.

We'd love to know where your head is at. And if the honest answer is "no idea, we're just surviving", type C. We'll absolutely take that too. 😅

Something rather wonderful happens in Australian schools next week. 📚

Children's Book Week runs from Saturday 22 August to Friday 28 August, and this year's theme is a lovely one: Symphony of Stories.

If you've got a primary schooler, you already know what's coming. The costume panic. The last-minute cardboard. The parade where four children turn up as the same character and not one of them minds in the slightest.

But underneath the dress-ups, Book Week is doing something serious. It's the one week of the year when reading gets treated like an event rather than a chore, and for a lot of kids that reframing is exactly the thing that sticks. Teacher-librarians spend months preparing for it. P&Cs fundraise for the book collections behind it. It is a genuine community effort, and mostly an invisible one.

This year is a milestone too. The CBCA Book of the Year Awards turn 80 in 2026. That's eighty years of putting Australian stories, Australian illustrators and Australian voices in front of Australian children.

We'll admit a soft spot for this one. Dymocks has been putting books into Australian hands since 1879, and our tutors see the effect constantly: students who read widely tend to write more clearly, comprehend faster and build a stronger argument. Across every subject, not just English.

So to every teacher-librarian, parent helper and P&C volunteer making next week happen, thank you. 💙

And if you need a costume idea tonight, our vote is always the simplest book your child genuinely loves.

Last week we talked about spacing study out instead of cramming. Here's the technique that makes that spacing actually work. 🧠

It's called active recall, and the simplest version is the blank page test.

Try it tonight:
→ Close the book, the notes, the laptop. All of it.
→ Take a blank page and write down everything you can remember about one topic.
→ Only then open your notes and check.
→ Whatever you missed or got wrong is your study list.

Most students revise by re-reading. Re-reading feels productive because it feels familiar, but familiarity isn't the same as knowing. Pulling information out of your brain is much harder than putting it in, and that difficulty is precisely what builds the memory.

The bonus: a blank page shows you what you don't know before an exam does it for you.

Start with one topic. Ten minutes. That's the whole thing.

Give it a go this week and let us know how you went in the comments 💪

Week 5 of Term 3. You're officially at the halfway mark. ⏳

Here's what we notice at this point in a term: the topics have stacked up, assessments are landing, and the distance between "sort of getting it" and "actually getting it" starts to show.

The good news is there's still a whole back half of term to work with. Enough time to fill the gaps, rebuild some confidence, and finish Term 3 strong rather than just scraping through it.

That's exactly what our classes are built for. Classes are capped at 12 students, which means your child gets noticed, gets asked, and gets helped. No judgment, no pressure. Just steady, structured support from people who genuinely care how it goes. 💙

Bullying No Way Week starts today, and this year's theme is one worth bringing to the dinner table: Small Acts, Big Impact. 💙

Here's what's happening. The week runs from today until Friday 21 August, built around the idea that school, family and community all play a part in helping young people feel accepted, respected, and like they belong.

It arrives alongside a new national campaign launched by the Australian Government earlier this month, carrying the line "Bullying is harder to spot than you think". The ads feature school-aged kids asking a simple, uncomfortable question: can you tell which one of us is being bullied?

The research behind it is sobering. The national Anti-Bullying Rapid Review found around 1 in 4 students in Years 4 to 9 experience bullying regularly, and more than half of young people have been bullied online. Reports of cyberbullying to the eSafety Commissioner rose more than 455% between 2019 and 2024.

There's a practical change coming too. By Term 1 2027, all Australian schools will need anti-bullying policies aligned to the National Framework, and will need to respond to complaints within two school days.

So what can you actually do this week? There's a new national Let's Stop Bullying website with free resources for parents and carers, and it's worth ten minutes of your evening. The theme says it best. Small acts, big impact. Asking your child one open question tonight counts as one of them.

We see it in our hubs every week: a student who feels safe and settled shows up differently to their learning. Confidence and belonging aren't extras. They're the foundation. 💙

It's Friday, and we're curious! 🎉

We work with students across all kinds of learning styles, and one thing we've noticed is that how students like to study is really personal.

When your child is revising for a test, what do they tend to prefer?

💬 Type A or B in the comments ⬇️

A 📖: Quiet solo study first (read the notes, do practice questions on their own)
B 💬: Talk it through with someone first (a parent, tutor, or classmate) before going solo

No right answer here: every learner is different! But we'd love to know what works in your household. And if you've got a study habit that's been a game-changer for your family, share it in the comments. You might just help another parent out 👇

Not all tutoring is the same. Here's what we look for in every tutor who joins the Dymocks Tutoring team 👇

A great tutor isn't just someone who did well at school. They're someone who can explain a tricky concept three different ways until it clicks. Someone who spots the gap your child can't quite name. Someone who makes a nervous student feel capable again.

That's why every Dymocks Tutoring tutor meets a high bar:
✅ An ATAR of 96 minimum, with a Band 6 in the subject they teach
✅ Trained in how to actually teach, not just what they know
✅ Matched to your child's needs, from Year 3 to Year 12
✅ Real people who genuinely care about your child's progress

Because the right tutor doesn't just lift marks. They rebuild confidence, one lesson at a time. 💛

📚 The study habit that actually works (and most students skip it)

Here's something education research keeps coming back to: re-reading your notes is one of the least effective ways to study. It feels productive, but it doesn't stick.

What does? Retrieval practice: actively trying to recall information from memory before checking your notes. It feels harder, and that's exactly the point. The effort of trying to remember is what builds the memory.

Here's a simple version your child can try tonight:
1️⃣ Finish reading a topic or chapter
2️⃣ Close the book/notes completely
3️⃣ Write down everything they can remember on a blank page
4️⃣ Check what they missed. That's the list to review.
5️⃣ Repeat with a practice question or past paper under timed conditions

For HSC students right now (trials are underway for many!), this approach is gold. It mimics exam conditions and identifies gaps before they cost marks.

For younger students, it works just as well for spelling words, times tables, science concepts, or any other topic they're learning.

The best part? It takes the same time as re-reading, but it actually works. 🙌

We're four weeks into Term 3, and for some families, that's when it starts to show 📚

The test results that came back lower than expected. The homework that's taking twice as long as it should. The child who says "I just don't get it" at the kitchen table.

It's one of the most common things we hear. And we get it.

The good news: there's still plenty of Term 3 ahead, and starting support now gives your child real time to build their confidence before term wraps up (and for Year 11–12 students, before the HSC written exams begin in October).

At Dymocks Tutoring, we match every student with the right support from Year 3 to Year 12. Whether they need to fill in a gap, build foundations, or get a step ahead in Maths, English, Science or more.

✅ Expert tutors (ATAR of 96 minimum, with a Band 6 in their taught subject)
✅ At our hubs, or online
✅ Accessible and affordable
✅ Real people who actually care about your child's progress

It's not too late. Let's make this term count. 💛

NSW Public Education Week has just wrapped, and its theme is worth holding onto: Inspiring Excellence 🏫✨

Across the state, 2,200 public schools spent the week celebrating the achievements of students, teachers and school communities. The message at the heart of it: every school and every student has the potential to do something remarkable.

It's a timely reminder that excellence isn't built in a single exam. It's built day by day: through curiosity, consistent effort, and the right support.

For families, this is a great moment to pause and celebrate the progress your child has made this term. Every step forward counts. 💛

What does "inspiring excellence" look like in your house right now? We'd love to hear ⬇️
