Peers for Academic Success (PAS) is our very successful student run program for Senior School students in Year 10, 11 and 12. PAS provides a safe platform for connecting students through meaningful and productive collaboration to achieve academic progress.

This year, Olive Chen (Year 10), Georgia Geyer (Year 10), Samuel Zhu (Year 10), Djordje Jovanovic (Year 11) and me, Gauravi Baral (Year 11), have been warmly welcomed into the PAS Leadership Team and we’re looking forward to starting the year with new thrilling ideas for the program!

PAS 2020 officially kicked off on Monday in Week 4 with the first session laying the groundwork for successful buddy/mentor relationships. Student mentors are focusing on the deliberate application of the ‘retrieval’ and ‘spaced practice’ strategies into our study routines to boost our long-term memories, since this is very critical for the external exams we will sit in the current syllabus.
