This evening will provide an opportunity for students and parents who could not attend in previous years to attend. It will also provide an opportunity for a refresher in study skills.\u00a0This evening was offered last year, with an emphasis on Year 7, however, we would like to offer it again for anyone that may have been unable to attend or who might like a refresher.<\/p>\n<p>The evening will be presented by Dr Prue Salter from Enhanced Learning who has specialised, for over 15 years, in the area of study skills and is in high demand as a presenter of study skills sessions. Prue developed the study skills website our school subscribes to and has written many other study skills resources.<\/p>\n<p>The main areas that will be covered are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Managing homework and assignments effectively by efficient time management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Learning to be more organised for school and at home using structures and routines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Working and studying effectively in high school and becoming a more powerful learner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dr Prue Salter will share with you some simple but powerful strategies to implement at home to help students cope with the academic demands of school and achieve their personal best. You will be discussing together what might work best for your family.<\/p>\n<p>This is an interactive evening for parents and students that outlines tools and techniques for students to achieve their personal academic best.
