Dear Parent/Carer,
Year 11 Holiday Homework
As we approach the upcoming festive break, we reflect on the hard work and efforts of our Year 11 students and the investment they have made towards their studies in the last couple of modules. This break is undoubtedly a well-deserved time for rest and rejuvenation. It is also important to recognise that this period must also be utilised by students to stay on track with their academic studies and to maintain the continuity of their learning.
All students have been set compulsory homework tasks to complete in each subject over the break. These tasks have been posted onto their Google Classrooms and are outlined below. They should be completed gradually throughout the break, and we kindly request your support in reinforcing the significance of completing the assigned homework tasks.
