Are your CAFS students struggling to move beyond a Band 3 or 4? In this episode, we break down exactly what separates Band 5 and 6 responses from the rest and how you can teach these skills with confidence in your classroom.

Drawing from 16 years of HSC marking experience and insights mentoring thousands of CAFS teachers spanning 15 years, in How to Strengthen CAFS Student Responses for Band 5 & 6 Success,

I unpack what high-scoring students do differently: from interpreting Glossary of Key Words and applying syllabus content to writing with clarity, structure and confidence.

You’ll walk away with practical, easy-to-apply strategies to:

✅ Improve the quality and depth of student responses

✅ Strengthen links to the syllabus and Glossary of Key Words

✅ Model and scaffold Band 6-level answers in class

✅ Give feedback that actually helps students grow

This episode is a behind the scenes of our recent CAFS Webinar so if you want the full recording you can head to thelearnnet.com/successcafs

If you’re a CAFS teacher who wants to see your students hit higher bands in the HSC, this episode is your go-to guide to elevate their writing and your teaching practice.
