Thank you Kevork and Paula,<div><br></div><div>It was exciting to get a student up to 40. Like many, an ESL student (year 11 too!). Another particular student often rode his skateboard late into my class. After a friendly high-five and secret handshake as he glided past, it was easy to chat to him on a regular basis about stuff like reading notes, listening to my questions, making summaries and doing past examinations (again, again and again!), about just sticking it out as he was going to have so much fun in 2012 at Uni. Crikey, this really made my day when I spotted that his score was over 35. :-)<div>
