Year 12 Flex<\/b><\/h4>\n

In 2021, the College implemented an exciting initiative for Year 12 – FLEX – that responded to the feedback from Year 12 students, parents and staff regarding their learnings from COVID-19 remote learning during 2020. During this time, students enjoyed a flexible learning timetable, which allowed for independence, a further understanding of their preferred learning style and an enhanced learning relationship with their teacher. Following the success last year, FLEX days were offered to Year 12 students this year when they were not on Retreat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our teachers developed an array of online and onsite workshops. Resources for each workshop are posted on Google Classrooms for students to access throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs Colreavy, our Gifted & Talented Newman Coordinator writes specifically for parents and students in these classes. This week, she includes information about extension tasks.<\/p>\n

Families examined the following areas:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
