This year I’m down to four students! Three of whom are highschoolers, and only one primary student. Grades 4, 7, 9 & 11.

Reflecting on where we need to get to, I see a shift is needed with Saxon this year, he needs to have some of his work answerable to someone other than me. With the advent of many more courses for Tafe available online, we are going to take advantage of that.

Assessing on the children’s weak areas, I can see the mechanics of writing continue to be an issue for some, specifically spelling and handwriting. So that will be a focus Term 1.
