It has been a busy start to the term for our Middle School students with the Year 7, 8 and 9 cohorts actively involved in a series of study skill sessions. The workshops, presented by Elevate Education, focused on the essential skills needed to prepare for assessments including assignments and examinations.
The Year 7 students focused on learning techniques that they can readily apply when preparing for examinations whilst our Year 8 cohort were presented with innovative ideas on how to use their time effectively including developing graphic organisers to “lock-in” study times. The Year 9 students looked at specific strategies such as “memory mnemonics” which can positively assist with examination preparation.
The valuable techniques learnt through the workshops provide a solid foundation for students to continue building their skills throughout the year.
