Overall, I am happy with my Semester 2 Report. In my reflection from Semester 1, I didn’t get as many A’s as I would have liked but the work did also get progressively more challenging (it is also not about the grade.) My subjects were different from the previous Semester as well as I needed to balance Food Tech (which I was very confident in) to textiles (which I am not confident in at all). While I am happy with the marks I achieved, this made a noticeable difference in my results.
In Year 8, I would like to focus more on Maths, Science and Health as those were the only C grades I received. I do noticeably better in English and HASS, and I would like to maintain my A grade. It has always been a goal for me to get an Academic Award, but I do find it very challenging with all of my extracurricular activities and the workload getting larger. Next year I am going to put extra revision in for Maths and Science. For Health I am going to try and be more engaged in class discussions.
