MATHS AND ENGLISH PROGRAM: Kindy to Year 10

2-hour English and maths intensives will run over three mornings in the final week of the school holidays

Why book your kids in?

  1. If your child is starting Year 3, 5, 7 or 9 next year, they’ll be sitting their NAPLAN tests in Term 1– this is the perfect way to boost their confidence with a good 6 hours of prep covered in just 3 mornings.
  2. If your child is transitioning to high school for the first time, we’ll help them understand what changes to expect and help revise fundamentals that are essential for starting Year 7 confidently. They can look forward to the more targeted teaching approach we take with high schoolers compared to primary schoolers.
  3. In order to maintain momentum, we encourage all studentsto attend in lieu of their usual lessons, unless of course you’re one of the lucky families who are going to be away!
  4. Your kids will be excited to know we add some extra funinto our holiday programs with the addition of some physical games and competitions.
  5. Mum / Dad, give yourself 2 hours off for a coffee! – Okay, maybe just some peace and quiet while you take meetings for work 🙂

It will cover fundamental skills needed for achieving academic success during examinations or assessments.
