Time flies when you are having fun
There is a saying, "Time flies when you are having fun"........ I am going to be bold and assume that my 12MAT class has had fun while learning this term as an analysis of their data is quite pleasing; thanks to the foresight of our Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and supportive staff who organised a "Catch Up" day for senior students. As a result of the"catch up" day, 90% of my 12MAT students have credits this term with 100% achievement for assessments sat.
We are ending the term strongly and with a sense of achievement which should hold us in good stead for a promising term 2. "Success breeds success" ......watch this space for term 2 updates.

12MAT Student voice - NCEA L2 Networks
My 12MAT students started the year with a clear focus on achievement. Once a CHEAT SHEET was shared and explained, students were super keen to get on with their learning journey. Feedback was given via a tracking sheet where students could work at their own pace, monitor their progress and then sit their assessment when they felt the confidence to do so. National data shows a success rate of 79%. My 12MAT class has 100% achievement for the NCEA L2 Networks standard and below is some of the student voice from a survey done just before attempting a practice test
