Grades 9-10 CAS: Review, Reinforce, Rise Together

January 12, 2026

On January 7, during the CAS period, the Peer Advisor program, organized by the Teacher Advisor Office, held review sessions for 9th-grade students covering all tested subjects. The event aimed to help students systematically consolidate their knowledge and prepare thoroughly for the upcoming final examinations.


Each student volunteer carefully prepared a detailed PowerPoint presentation and reviewed the speeches within the test scope. During the event, students selected and attended three different subject lectures of their choice to listen to and review.


The review sessions for each subject were substantial in content and clearly structured. First, the volunteers provided a concise yet systematic overview of the core knowledge points within the examination scope. Subsequently, the sessions included targeted practice questions, allowing attending students to immediately reinforce their understanding. The final Q&A segment offered a valuable interactive opportunity, with students actively raising questions and the student lecturers providing patient, detailed explanations, fostering a positive atmosphere for academic exchange.



For STEM subjects, the sessions focused primarily on practice problems, with lectures providing summaries of commonly tested and error-prone questions and test-taking strategies to help students avoid such mistakes on exams. For humanities subjects, the emphasis was more on understanding concepts and clarifying plotlines and main ideas, helping students develop a general grasp of texts and establish clear revision directions.


After the two CAS sessions, students reported that they had gained a much clearer understanding of their academic weak points and how to approach their revision, and they planned to work on mastering this knowledge during the two-week review period ahead.


This student-led review initiative not only provided strong academic support for the 9th graders, demonstrating the power of peer collaboration, but also served as a vivid embodiment of the "Service" and "Action" principles of the CAS program. It honed the volunteers' organizational and presentation skills, and further cultivated a positive school-wide learning climate of proactive preparation and mutual progress.
