Brightsparks

This week has been a busy week at our school.

On Thursday, Year 11 students participated in our Brightsparks program.

The day involves sessions on Knowing the School and NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority) Assessment Policy, Time Management and Organisation, Maintaining Balance (including a yoga session) and Resilience.

The highlight of the day is the study skills session with Dr Prue Salter from Enhanced Learning Educational Services which focused on helping students identify changes and improvements they could make to their approach to their studies in order to maximise their results in their final years of school.

The main areas covered were making brain-friendly study notes on a regular basis and using a wide variety of active study techniques to suit individual learning styles. Year 11 students looked at advanced research about the brain and how that could be used to make their study more effective.

Parents are encouraged to review the handout from the session with students and discuss the main areas identified where changes need to be made. Parents can also find extra study skills tips on the following website: http://studyskillstoptipsparents.com/.
