The transition from Year 10 to Year 11 can be exciting, but also daunting.
Preparing for the HSC involves hard work and focus. And the added pressure of balancing school and home life can combine to create anxiety, procrastination and even fear.
Our Senior School Readiness Program is designed to help students move through these important years with a sense of support and confidence.
These are skills that will take you beyond the exam room. They are skills for life. Taught by someone who understands the challenges of education in 2021.
Program Outline
Your personal tutor will work with you over 8 X 60 minute, online sessions.
We’ve focused on the four key skill sets that are of real benefit to MOST children:
1. Study Skills: Many students find it difficult to juggle the demands of the senior years as they juggle part time jobs, sporting obligations, learning to drive and independent decision making.
The study skills component of this program introduces students to tried and true techniques for improving focus, concentration and prioritisation, such as the Pomodoro Technique, a time management skill that has proven to be very successful for our students.
2. Organisation: We help students organise their workflow and their minds by efficiently compartmentalising each subject. This helps them to better manage time around assignment deadlines and exam studies. We also introduce them to tools and methods for managing paperwork, taking notes, and using technology. Skills that will help them reduce daily stress and increase their confidence.
3. Tackling Assignments: Expectations around assignment deadlines can often be daunting so we encourage students to break tasks in to key areas and teach them how to work through assignments from planning to completion.
4. Essay Writing: Writing essays can be one of the most challenging aspects of senior studies. We introduce students to the formulae for writing great essays: how to identify the key words in a question; the importance of structure; understanding the role of vocabulary and grammar; and writing solid arguments. Essay proficiency – for both assignments and exams – will be of enormous value to students through their senior years and beyond.
