For me, the purpose of my ePortfolio is to act as my personal journal that always updated, throughout my school years
here at ASMS. By doing this, I have an easier access on my past works, improvement and reflect on how I could improve
even more.
Literacy

is about using the techniques that applies to every production of a written document/task such as listening, reading, viewing, speaking, etc

Numeracy

recognising and understanding the role of mathematics in the world

ICT capability

to know the knowledge and appropriate usage with technologies and such, to help create and communicate information and ideas,
solve problems and work collaboratively in all learning areas at school, and in their lives beyond school

Critical and creative thinking integral (important) to activities that require students to think broadly and deeply using skills,
behaviours and dispositions such as reason, logic, resourcefulness, imagination and innovation in all learning areas at school and in their lives
beyond school.

Personal and social capability practices including recognising and regulating emotions, developing empathy for others and
understanding relationships, establishing and building positive relationships, making responsible decisions, working effectively in teams,
handling challenging situations constructively and developing leadership skills.

Ethical behaviour involves students in building a strong personal and socially oriented ethical outlook that helps them to manage
context, conflict and uncertainty, and to develop an awareness of the influence that their values and behaviour have on others.

Intercultural understanding involves students in learning about and engaging with diverse cultures in ways that recognise
commonalities and differences, create connections with others and cultivate mutual respect.
AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM

 Learning Studies Programs - Strategies

As Ive discussed with Maja about my
study strategies, Ive told her that Ive
never really procrastinated before.
For the past school years that Ive been
through, Ive always tried to get started
on a task as soon as it was given to me.
This is all because I can be easily
stressed by workloads but unable to
handle it at the same time, so since Ive
realised this, I decided that the only way
to avoid this is to do my work and finish it
as soon as possible. By doing this, I would
also have room for the later tasks thats
given.

 Learning Studies Programs Wellbeing

For wellbeing, this is always done
by participating every Triple MMM
activities, where we can interact
with friends and keep us from
technologies in which were
always on throughout the day and
actually communicate with peers
by doing various different kinds of
(mostly physical) activities.

 Learning Studies Programs Critical

Thinking
Within a lesson, the year 10s
were gathered and were to
partner with someone to
choose which reflection tool
we wanted to summaries.
Keith and I chose the If
then to summaries within a
limited time of about 30
minutes, for Critical

 Strengths . Successes .
Interests
Relating to this course, I was actually pretty proud of myself on coping with workloads,
which were mostly Ive never done before, such as analysing, reports, a very detailed
historical research. Everything was new to me, so it was no doubt that I really did have
some troubles, I even thought that I wouldnt be able to pass this course.
In this course, they were a lot of group works which I love. I think this was has helped me
the most on being successful in this course. Because most of my classmate had an
experience with the topic which I had troubles with, Chemistry, but they helped me out A
LOT on familiarising me on the something by teaching me every thing that I dont get
every lesson until I was confident with it. And although before approaching them I tried
working things out by myself using the internet, it did help but when my classmate clarified
it even more, that certain problem got fixed since they know the same understanding-level
like I do.
Although I havent got my grades yet, in overall, I believe that I did my best so Im hoping
that Im going to get the grade that I want (A-B).

Question

 Strengths . Successes .
Interests
Body in Question (BiQ) is actually my favourite class out of all my classes, because
this is what interest me the most Science. I also feel comfortable in this class
because of the friends Ive met through this class in which I always group up with
every team projects comes up, which is all the time.
The workload wasnt also overwhelming in this class, let it be English or Science, or
that might just be because I dont feel like its work that bores me, which happens in
a few of my few tasks.
I was also comfortable with my teachers since they were just so friendly Emily and
Terry.
Through this course, I developed all the capabilities, except numeracy.

Maths and Abstract

Thinking

 Strengths . Successes .
Interests
Maths has never been my favourite subject and has always been my greatest weakness.
On the test that we did for Functions and Graph, I actually received a C on this along with
my folio task, which Im definitely proud of. I strive to do a better job next time by actually
asking for help to my peers and teachers every time Im need, which I actually didnt do.
However, something that I could brag about is my journal book for maths, where I try to
accurately solve most of the problems in the worksheets thats given to us every
workshops. This journal also helps me to revise for test.

Another is the improvement that Ive made for my Folio tasks in Maths.

Adventure Space

For semester 1, I joined the Music Club for my

Adventure Space. So every adventure space
lesson which happens once a week at the end of
the day, we show our musical talents, let it be
singing and playing a bunch of instruments.
I just really love adventure space because this is
the only class that I have where I dont do any
maths, science or anything academically
related.
This term, I was one of the singers who
performed during the lunch time concert with
the people I teamed up with at the beginning of
the Music Club.
Due to this, Ive come to develop my personal
and social capability, ethical behaviour and
intercultural understanding
