Learning & Teaching at the College
Optimise means to make the best or most effective use of (a situation or resource).
Term 2 is a critical time in the learning cycle for all students. For students in Yr 7-10 it is the opportune time to optimise their learning and continue to implement the strategies they have developed in Term 1 to assist them in working towards their learning goals. Both Yr 11 and 12 cohorts move past the halfway point of their academic year. So it is critical that they maintain positive learning behaviours to ensure that they achieve outcomes that reflect both their effort and ability. Students are encouraged to optimise the resources available to them, whether that be their teachers, studying collaboratively or taking extra opportunities for learning outside of class time.
