where students develop skills for work, life and study”
Study Skills Program
Preparing for HSC
This program is available to 12 students as part of their preparation for the Higher School Certificate. It is not a compulsory program, as each student needs to be a willing participant and take ownership of the process of learning new skills.
The program structure includes a significant level of student participation and interaction in order to remain relevant and interesting for participants. Specifically, the course looks at the following areas:
- What is this all about?
- Doing the HSC: The Big Picture
- Goal Setting (Short, Mid & Long Term Goals)
- Managing My Life
- Specific Study Tips
- Exams (Preparation, Completion & Recovery)
- Life After School.
At the end of the course, many students commented on how useful they found it and indicated that their level of stress had reduced as it had helped put things into perspective. Students found their level of planning and preparation had improved and that what they had learnt helped them specifically in terms of setting goals, starting assessments earlier and managing their time more effectively.
