Welcome to Week 2! The momentum is building fast across all our grade levels, and it’s wonderful to see our students bringing so much focus, energy, and determination into the classroom every day.
Grade 9 Advisory
- This Week in Our Learning: We kicked off our goal-setting journey using the SMART template to establish academic, learner profile, and personal goals for the year. We also participated in our school fire mock drill, handling it with great maturity and efficiency.
- Student Spotlight: A huge shoutout to our Grade 9 advisory students for approaching their goal-setting with genuine reflection and intentionality—setting a fantastic tone for the year ahead!
- Looking Ahead: Next week, we will continue refining our goals and building strong habits that set us up for a smooth and successful term.
Grade 9 Mathematics
- This Week in Our Learning: We officially wrapped up our work on Index Laws. Students have been engaging deeply in independent work, with many demonstrating a solid ability to apply these laws accurately to solve problems.
- Student Spotlight: Kudos to the entire class for showing fantastic independence and growing confidence when tackling complex index expressions!
- Looking Ahead: Next week, students will write a practice test to consolidate their knowledge before we move on to fractional indices and surds.
Grade 10 Mathematics
- This Week in Our Learning: After a busy time with IRL activities, students jumped right back into Math class to finalize relations, domain, and range. We are now diving into the fundamentals of functions.
- Student Spotlight: High praise to our Grade 10s for their motivation and smooth transition back to classroom focus, their positive attitude and consistent effort are commendable!
- Looking Ahead: Next week, we’ll expand our understanding by exploring and analyzing the graphs of functions.
Grade 11 Mathematics
- This Week in Our Learning: We completed our topic on straight lines, with students demonstrating excellent understanding and learning success across their problem-solving tasks.
- Student Spotlight: Shoutout to our DP Year 1 students for their strong work ethic and active engagement as they master these foundational linear concepts.
- Looking Ahead: Next week, students will write a practice test to reinforce their learning before we launch into linear modelling.
Grade 12 Mathematics
- This Week in Our Learning: Seniors finalized their work on limits, started the rules of derivatives, and completed a practice formative assessment to reflect on their learning. Most importantly, students successfully completed the first draft of their Math IA (Exploration)!
- Student Spotlight: Massive recognition to our Grade 12s for reaching a major milestone with their IA drafts while seamlessly picking up calculus concepts. That dedication is truly impressive!
- Looking Ahead: Next week, we will continue expanding our work with derivatives and their practical applications.
