Published 16/06/25Vethumya, 9A. ''Vethumya's End of Year English Literature essay was incredibly impressive - she joined the school late, therefore only receiving a small portion of the teaching on 'Great Expectations'. Despite this, she tirelessly worked in the lead up to the exams, bringing me multiple mock essays to check and she was eager to act on feedback. She ended up scoring the highest mark for her essay in 9D, an achievement which she should be very proud of as the essay demonstrated a strong argument and thoughtful reflections about the text that were supported by deep analysis and integration of context.''
