From the Leader of Learning

High Achievers Assembly

On Wednesday this week, the College invited our Year 12 High Achievers back to the college. Soon, a special edition newsletter will be released to celebrate their achievements.

Please ask your daughter about the inspirational speeches by our College Dux, Caragh Price (ATAR 97.85) and our ex-student, Eliza Jones.

Study Skills

On Wednesday this week, students in Years 7, 8, 9 & 10 participated in study skills workshops run by Elevate. The presenters were all young university students. Students had the chance to receive the presenters’ advice and best research-backed recommendations on a range of study skills, including memory, time management, organisation and examination preparation and management. The student evaluations provide an overwhelmingly positive response from MSCW students, who said they’d recommend their workshop to peers.

It is important that students continue to refer back to these workshops and the relevant skills to make them transferable into the contexts of their subjects this year.

Every student at the College must use their Student Planner. I recommend that parents and carers review their daughter’s planner. If it needs some entries, I recommend accessing some of the study skills resources via the College’s subscription to the ELES Study Skills Site units. You can find the site via:
