“what you study in school is often a very linear, focused exploration of concepts, and there will always be moments of confusion and frustration. now is your chance to extend your knowledge in core subjects with our holiday programs that help you learn at your pace.
the students at marquis are educated to think outside the box and engage with essential skills in a fun and interesting manner through reimagined contexts of what’s academically possible.
so during the school holidays, it’s essential to enjoy time outdoors and socialise with friends, and it’s just as important to ensure the hard work you’ve put in during the school term isn’t lost because of major disruptions to your study routines. holidays are the best time for you to get ahead of your peers, reduce stress for next term and make a huge positive difference in your marks.”
