Year 10 will have the opportunity to participate in three skill days over the course of this year. The aim of each day is to prepare Year 10 for the rigours of Senior School and to practically support them in developing effective study skills.
The students will learn about:
- General study skills for all subjects
- How to study for maths
- Fitness, food and relaxation for academic success
- Preparing for exams
- Maintaining a car
- Smart Earning- vital information students need to make their first job count
- Essay writing
- Responding effectively to short answer questions
- Motivation and goal-setting
The days will be during school hours, at school and all students will be expected to attend. There will be a cost associated with the day as guest speakers and presenters have been invited to attend. I will endeavour to keep the costs as reasonable as possible. More information will be sent home soon.
If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school on 4751 2111 or by email: leesa.harris@det.nsw.edu.au
