In these school holidays it is important for students to have a decent break, recharge and enjoy spending time with friends and family. Certainly, if students are weak in areas such as literacy or numeracy, some regular practice during the break would not go astray. It is essential however that Year 11 students allocate some time these school holidays to consolidate the work from Year 11, ensuring study notes are up to date and they are organised and prepared for the challenges ahead in Year 12.
