With a new year of tutoring beginning I thought I’d share the lovely words from one of our Yr12’s that graduated last year.
“When I first started coming to tutoring, I had the mindset that needing tutoring made me somehow weak, dumb, incapable. I dreaded the idea of tutoring and thought my Dad was trying to punish me. This mindset has changed. You and your team offer not only a tutoring service, but a family that has helped me navigate my senior years of school. Tutoring actually became my favourite part of the week. When I walked in each week I was greeted with a smile and I knew I could be myself. I can’t thank you both enough for the team you have created. Each of the tutors I’ve had, has had a breadth of knowledge that has made my success at school possible. You offer a unique and invaluable service to this neighbourhood and I feel incredibly fortunate to have benefited from your expertise over the past 3 years.”

Back to School sessions with Greg are getting booked up. There are still spots available for Math Methods Yr 11 on Thursday 23rd 9-11am ($100 for the 2hr small group session) Great way to refresh and start the year well.

After an extremely busy start to term 4, it’s feedback like this after a new student’s first session, that reminds us why we love what we do.

“He is over the moon!! Says he feels like the weight sitting on his chest has lifted and he can breathe again 😳 Thank you so much”

When am I ever going to use math?
This episode of Outsiders was a great and inspiring watch. Congratulations Cameron McEvoy

They called Cam McEvoy crazy when he started a new training regime after the Tokyo Games. But it led to gold in Paris. 🥇 Watch this week's fascinating Offsiders on ABC iview: https://ab.co/2T8YAFd

Here’s one for students in Yr10-12.
It’s important for students to be familiar with the QCAA resources for their assignments and exams. The prizes might be some incentive 😊

The QCAA is hosting a competition to encourage Year 10–12 students to engage with myQCE resources and the Student Portal 💪🏅

It runs from Monday 8 July to Friday 13 September, and offers students a chance to win one of three prizes: a MacBook Air, an iPad Air with Apple Pencil, and a pair of AirPods Max headphones.

We’ve designed a social media graphic and a printable poster to help you promote the myQCE competition to your students. You can find them here 👉 https://myqce.qcaa.qld.edu.au/get-motivated/get-involved.
