Studying Guidelines

How to ensure you are getting the best out of yourself and looking after your health and wellbeing leading up and during exams.

Later this term our Year 9 and 10 students will complete semester exams during weeks 7 and 8. More information about the schedule, will be sent out over the next few weeks.

However, there are several measures that students and parents/guardians could perform that may help ensure success in study before and during the examination period.

These include:

• Having a good study work space at home which is well lit with natural light and is comfortable for you.
• If a student is using technology to study ensure that any form of social media is not in the background.
• The majority of learning happens inside the classroom, therefore students are strongly encouraged to use this time as effectively as possible.
• Students are encouraged to have an open dialogue with their teachers about their learning and approaches to studying.
• Healthy habits that include a healthy diet, exercise and good sleep patterns are also important.
• Having conversations with family members about how you are going with exam preparation.
• Students are encouraged to share their study notes with family members.

Students are encouraged to utilise all available networks to ensure they reach their full potential and are looking after their health and wellbeing. If students or parents have any further questions about studying, please see your subject teacher or feel free to contact the school and speak with a member of our Learning and Teaching Team.

DO YOU STILL FIT INTO YOUR SCHOOL SHOES?

Recently our 7 Kiewa students were asked to try on their school shoes in preparation for the much anticipated return on the 26th October. Some students found that they had outgrown their shoes in the time away from school!
