From the Leader of Learning

Last week we welcomed back Dr Prue Salter from Enhanced Learning Educational Services (www.enhanced-learning.net) as our guest speaker for an insightful session with Year 11 students. Year 12 will have a Study Skills Session next Wednesday during Community Time with Dr Salter.

The event provided a unique opportunity for Year 11 to reflect on the academic progress students have made and skills they have developed, in order to explore new strategies for maximising academic potential as they approach the culmination of their high school years.

Dr Salter’s expertise offered valuable insights into how to study effectively at home and deal with distractions, manage time efficiently, plan for assessments, make brain-friendly study notes regularly, and use various active study techniques to suit individual learning preferences.

We would like to express our gratitude to Dr Prue Salter for sharing her expertise once again. We encourage our entire College community to leverage the valuable insights available on the study skills website: www.studyskillshandbook.com.au.

There are lots of useful handouts available on the Things to Print page when you log in. For additional study skills tips from Dr Salter, families can explore a dedicated resource at http://studyskillstoptipsparents.com/.  

We also encourage parents to explore the session’s slides and handouts with students, fostering further discussions about areas that may benefit from positive changes. Let’s continue to support our students to achieve their full academic potential and work towards the next chapter of their lives.
