This week, we released a brand new ✨ LEAP Streaks app ✨onto all the HSC students’ iPads!

Up until this point your LEAP Streaks have been going up every time you sit a LEAP exam - the idea here was to encourage everyone to participate and stay diligent ☝️

From now on, LEAP goals are kicking in! 🎯 You will be able to see your very own LEAP 9 goal for all your enrolled subjects on the app. Use LEAP 8 as a practice round to try to hit your goal, and LEAP 9 will be the one that actually counts! 🔥

The LEAP 9 prize is worth $120 and the LEAP 12 prize is worth $450 😍 If you hit your goals across multiple subjects, you’ll get an even bigger prize! 🥳

Hope everyone absolutely smashes their LEAP 9 goal 💜 Comment down below what prize you’d be claiming if you do hit your goal 😱

What’s more contagious than the laughter of children on a playground? ☺️

That would have to be E-coli 🫢🦠

If you didn’t laugh at my joke, that’s okay, because laughter is infectious and I wouldn’t want you to going around spreading it to other people right before your trials 🤪😷

Jokes aside, a little bird told me that you should probably revise your Module 7 content 🫵
