Student Thoughts
Year 9 students were asked about their experiences in the GAT class (now Magna Facta class) These were some of their comments:
I loved the GAT class because everyone became friends…..it felt like a mini family
This was the best class so far. We had multiple opportunities to do some really fun things that helped us learn
The highlight of the class was the great excursions we went on … especially Sydney university
I liked that we were all similar in that we wanted to learn and try new things, new ideas…
The teachers were the best teachers and we worked at a faster learning pace
We did lots of extracurricular activities
Teachers expect a lot
All subjects were fun
I loved our class work ethic … we all had fun and allowed each other to learn and get work done
