Over the last two weeks, our 2016 Year 10’s have been involved in Senior School transition. A major part of this transition has been focusing on learning and the challenges and opportunities that Senior School will bring. Students participated in a morning workshop run by Elevate Education. They were taken through two sessions called Memory Nemonic's and also, Junior Time Management. The feedback from these sessions was very pleasing with the majority of students stating that the input they received here was useful and well timed. Students will continue to receive this kind of intentional input so that can be successful at both in their organisation and with their study techniques.
Students also had short immersions into learning areas where staff ran activities around how to achieve success in their learning area as a Senior School student.
Year 11 and 12 students will participate in workshops this Thursday with Elevate and the focus here will be on setting goals for the new year and starting with a strong focus.
We wish all new Senior School students a fantastic start to their 2016 courses and hope start as they mean to go on, with sound study skills and organisation that will help them succeed.
