Review Centres

This week is the beginning of a review for the Big final test next Wednesday. We are completing 7 different activity stations that cover numerous topics. It is an opportunity for students to ask questions, try hands on activities and review knowledge. The final test will be on everything that we have done this year. Thursday and Friday next week will be an opportunity for students to catch up anything they have missed before moving to Art. Have a great week.
Cheers
Ms. Hsu
