Workshop/Class 12
|
| Workshop name | Google Class Writing for Scholarship and Selective tests |
| Description | The Google classroom aims to help students in narrative and persuasive writing to reach a competitive level in scholarship and selective school tests.
The class includes 10 pre-recorded video lessons designed to help students write a short narrative (stories) to a competitive standard. The lessons employ a hands-on approach to writing with theory only introduced as necessary to improve writing.
Each week, students will complete a timed practice writing task using Mathemafix's Selective Writing module. Students can choose a much slower pace of learning if they wish to. Parents can mark for their own kids or request marking (on demand) at $15 per task. This gives parents the flexibility to decide how much effort students should put into writing (only worth about 10% of the selective school test but writing is very important for school English mark and scholarship tests).
There are also 3 separate persuasive writing lessons which will help students gain better English marks at school for the selective school application and some scholarship tests.

| Workshop name | Google Class Advanced Year 5-6 Mathematics |
| Description | This Google Classroom is designed to help students at year 5-6 deepen the knowledge of the basics, extend to important topics in year 6, 7 and 8 and acquire problem-solving strategies to deal with the challenging mathematics for selective school and scholarship tests.
This workshop is suitable for students who have completed (or nearly) all basic year 6 school maths (with good scores). For those who have not done this, here is a guide on covering all gaps in year 6 school maths
All the lessons have been recorded and posted in a Google Classroom. They are released weekly for students to work at their own pace. In each lesson, students walk through a workbook to practise what the theory they have learned. They can also access a lot of resources every week. By the end of 11 weeks, students can keep coming back to access the Google Classroom to learn, to revise and progress at their own pace to the end of May in year 6.
