Our year 11 science students are busy setting up microbial cultures as part of their investigations of various locations around the school in an attempt to identify areas that are high in bacterial and fungal growth.

Year 11 Study Skills

Year 11 students have been working with Southland Institute of Technology tutors to improve their study skills. The course initially looks at learning styles, and then focuses on developing strategies for improving learning for each of the styles. Students are then encouraged to develop their own study programmes based on the techniques they have learned.
