Level Five Classroom insights
|
Learning in Level Five is a new experience. Although Level Five is the highest level in JPIC and the tasks are very difficult, I’m so excited to be learning in this level. I know I should work very hard and be focused so that I can go to JPC successfully… Beryl Chen I think Level Five is harder than other levels, but I enjoy studying with my peers. I get a lot of writing practice, and it is giving me confidence. I am learning about the Indigenous Australians and their culture. It is interesting. I admit that life is difficult, but I can’t give up. I have to fight against difficulties. --Alyssa Du

Learning in Level Five is a really hard challenge but I have to overcome to go to main school. I have a lot of work to finish to improve my English skills. This experience is a chance to prove my ability. -- Joshua Lee
Life is neither easy nor hard in Level Five English lessons. I have done a lot of writing tasks and, according to my teacher, I am improving day by day. That is because the more I practice, the more I understand. Besides, this term we are encouraged to study independently. -- Jack Liu
I am improving my English skills in Level Five class a lot. We learned about contemporary issues for a few weeks and now we are doing books and films. We have finished reading and watching “Rabbit Proof Fence” and at the moment, we are learning about the history of Australia and the Aboriginal culture. --Sam Wong
Before Level Five, I hadn’t realized that time was crucially important for International students. Now, I am learning that managing time is not hard if I try my best. If there is no pain, there is no gain. I am forced to learn new things which I never did before, and my teachers are my greatest help. --Noah Xu
Science
Level 5A started the term by investigating acid/base chemistry. Students studied the properties of acids and bases, how they react with one another and other substances, as well as a variety of real-world situations. In the laboratory students used litmus paper to identify the pH of a number of solutions, as well as a key detailing a variety of techniques to identify a number of unknown solutions. They have since started investigating the Rock Cycle and are preparing to start their next major written assessment item.
