I have learned many new things. The Year 8 camp was amazing and we got to participate in really fun activities. The high ropes activity, swimming and the canoeing was very entertaining and since I had never canoed before, it was a new experience.]]> 2018-07-02 23:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201144 https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201193 2018-07-02 23:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201193 Surpreet chocolatelover25 https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201201 1. My most memorable moment this semester has been the Year 8 camp. I got to experience something amazing with a whole new group and that really helped make new friendships. Now, because of those 2 days, I have strong friendships within the class and I can work productively with others. ]]> 2018-07-02 23:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201201 Joey https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201217 1. My most memorable experience this semester was probably the Year 8 camp as I got to meet new people and try new things, like the leap of faith. ]]> 2018-07-02 23:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201217 Joey https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201285 2. I have struggled a bit with making sure that I know where all of my books for my subjects are. For support I could probably colour-code my books so they are easy to identify and I can select the book that I need quickly and there is no confusion.]]> 2018-07-02 23:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201285 Tara https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201510 My most memorable experience this semester has been meeting all of the wonderful children of 802.]]> 2018-07-02 23:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201510 Azada https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201592 The trip to Port Noarlunga was one of my most memorable experiences, because it was first time for me, that we did anything as a class, outside of work. ]]> 2018-07-02 23:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201592 Joey https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201696 I'm happy that the semester is finally over, but I have enjoyed all the challenges that have been thrown at us.]]> 2018-07-02 23:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201696 Tara https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201815 I have struggled with organising time for both school and outside-of-school activities. Although I do get all of my work done, I have been spending too much on homework then moving onto other activities, so I could keep switching between the two and having longer breaks.]]> 2018-07-02 23:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201815 Anika https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201832 1.

I think that to help me with this, I need to familiarise myself with this new setting and also keep trying with newer and harder studies. ]]> 2018-07-02 23:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201897 Anika https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201902 2. Something that I struggled with this semester was the workload that I had when multiple subjects had assignments or tests at a similar time as it was quite stressful.]]> 2018-07-02 23:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201902 Nitya https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201955 I struggled with the workload and next term I need to work on becoming more organised. During the time when reports are due and many assignments are given, it can be very stressful. ]]> 2018-07-02 23:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269201955 Jas https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269253810 I mostly struggled with finding time to socialise outside of school due to feeling overwhelmed with homework - I think I need to set more realistic goals surrounding the amount of time it will take me to complete homework after school so I ensure that I still socialise and interact with friends. I think setting goals surrounding weekly social interactions and being walked through these goals to set a homework and socialisation routine would benefit me. ]]> 2018-07-03 10:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269253810 Jas https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269257827 My most memorable experience was the science excursion to Port Nourlunga - even though it was freezing I really enjoyed the opportunity to swim and laugh with others, and just have a lot of fun without worrying about school or assignments.]]> 2018-07-03 10:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269257827 Jas https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269258835 I'm really tired and ready for a rest/holiday, but happy as I'm proud of my achievements this term and even just making it through Semester 1!]]> 2018-07-03 10:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269258835 Michael https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269313110 The most memorable experience for me was the Year 8 Camp. ]]> 2018-07-03 23:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269313110 Tara https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269346940 I am now feeling happy as it is almost the holidays.]]> 2018-07-04 06:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269346940 Ray https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269430500 1. The most memorable experience for me was probably the first few weeks of Year 8.

Struggle: Definitely procrastinating. I am getting better though, and am also getting better at organising my things.

The most memorable experience I had would be the first day I arrived at the school. It felt very awkward to walk into a new school and get confused with the bell times, where everything is. It was not a great experience but rather a memorable one because I got to learn more about this new environment and after a week or two I started to get used the new school.]]> 2018-07-05 03:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269430882 Azada https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269430981 There wasn't anything in particular I struggled with, and I think I am managing alright.]]> 2018-07-05 03:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269430981 Azada https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431119 I feel like I am on top of the world because SCHOOL IS OVER]]> 2018-07-05 03:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431119 Ray https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431212 2. The only thing I think I have struggled with is time management. Although I got all of my assignments in on time, I feel like I could have balanced out my workload so it was less stressful.

There isn't anything in particular that I need help or support with at the moment.]]> 2018-07-05 03:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431212 Navya https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431371 1. My most memorable experience this semester has been camp because I got to learn more about others and made new friends. I also enjoyed the various activities that we participated in. I thoroughly enjoyed Science Week because I learnt so much about important discoveries in medicine. ]]> 2018-07-05 03:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431371 Matilda https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431556 1. My most memorable experience this semester would have to be the swimming carnival or sports day because they were really enjoyable and we got to participate in many fun activities. The Science Display from all the classes was also enjoyable, and memorable because it was something different, but still involved learning.]]> 2018-07-05 03:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431556 Kerry (Struggle) https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431593 One main thing I struggled with was managing time well. Even though I got all assignments in without problems, I felt that time is still a problem that is affecting my performance. The problem is starting to get better, though on some weeks I still find myself with time shortages. I would like to find better ways to manage time o very busy weeks.]]> 2018-07-05 03:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431593 Navya https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431610 2. I have struggled with managing my time for homework for each day. In order to solve this problem, I will designate a particular amount of time to a task and aim to finish it in that time. I will also try to incorporate the Matrix style into my to-do lists as it will help me prioritize my tasks. ]]> 2018-07-05 03:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431610 Sree https://padlet.com/abby_davey/7repwzoac5xr/wish/269431660 The most memorable experience this semester was making friends in a new school.

This is because of both how at camp, we managed to have exotic and fun experiences and because that was when I made friends with Kerry and Chris.
