We would love to hear from you with feedback on how we can improve this Newsletter… just click here if you have some: Newsletter Feedback
Over the years we have noticed that the students and parents that get the most out of Kip McGrath consistently do the same things and we thought that we would list them so that everyone can benefit:
- ask lots of questions (students and parents),
- bring in any problems you have from school,
- attend your weekly lessons and if you can’t, ensure you make it up the next week,
- give 100% effort while at Kip McGrath and with your homework at home,
- if your parents help with any homework questions then circle them so we know,
- bring in your topic timetable for high school maths at the beginning of each year,
- inform your tutor of upcoming tests or assignments as soon as you know of them,
- if parents have any concerns, then raise them straight away with the tutor.
The important thing is to keep the lines of communication open between you, your child and us. We are here to help and are always ready to do what is needed to get the best results for you and your child.
Thanks so much to all the parents that took time out of your weekend to visit us over the last couple of weeks.
You know… it was just good to get to know you better over a relaxed lunch, and to understand your different situations.
Just hearing how we help you now, and how we can help you and your children even more in the future, made a big difference to us. Stay tuned over the coming weeks and months to see the improvements from your suggestions.
Thanks again… Christine and Ken.
There have been many really impressive student achievements this last term, at Kip McGrath, at school, and in various sporting arenas.

- Wed 23rd July Opportunity Class Placement Test (Year 4)
- July / August Trial HSC – Check exact dates with School
- Mon 14th July Resume Tutoring @ Kip McGrath
Please Note:
We will be tutoring on Monday 14th July. It is a pupil free day in some public schools, but after 2 weeks off your child needs the best start they can get for the term.
In Term 3 your child will be attending at the same day and time as they have been coming in Term 2, unless we have made other arrangements with you.
Yep, you heard it right…
We have a Maths Help Line where you or your child can jump on-line and ask us any Maths question.
Sometimes Ken will answer your question straight away, but regardless, he will get back to you within 24 hours with an answer.

Please Help Me With My Maths Question
It is coming… it is FREE… and it is FUN…
Do you want to give life-saving water to people that desperately need it right now ??
Through our partnership with B1G1 we have sponsored this initiative to give much needed water to people in Ethiopia.
The “Shake The World” App will be available soon, and when it is, we will send out an email to let you know. It will allow you to give life-saving water through a simple shake of your phone.
We finish tutoring on Friday 27th June and resume Term 3 tutoring on Monday 14th July.
We wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday break.
Best wishes from all of us here at Kip McGrath…
