Message From The Hodges House Captain

As the year 12 boarders are settling back into the normalities of school and boarding, we all have reflected on the isolation period at home.  Although, we are extremely happy to be amongst each other again, there are apparent similarities we all enjoyed whilst working from home.  Not wearing a school uniform, the time to be our families and work on passion projects at home.  With the limited time before your return, make the most of the situation to organise yourself for your arrival at school.  Polish off your notes, keep on top of your work and enjoy your time with family.  There are also similar issues we had whilst studying back at home.  I personally can attest to the difficulty of studying without a structured day like at school. Towards the end of working from home, I found it extremely useful to structure my day in around 30 minute blocks.  By using a diary (Google Calendar also works great) I found I could best distribute my time, working efficiently whilst also allocating time for other hobbies, remember it’s important to have a break.
