There are several measures that students and parents/guardians could perform that may help ensure success in study through this challenging period.

These include:

• Having a good study work space at home which is well lit with natural light and is comfortable for them. 
• If they are 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.
• Asking your child each night how they are going with exam preparation and opening conversations with them.
• Ask your child to share their study notes with you for each subject.

If you would like support with this, please contact your child's homeroom teacher or year level leader. 

We trust that students will be adequately prepared and wish them well with the exams.
