Elevate Education

Elevate Education visited our school last Friday to present a series of workshops to our year 11 and 12 students. They also presented to the staff at Thursday’s professional learning time.

The workshops included a session on time management and one called Study Sensai. All students thought the session were useful and were highly engaged with the speaker. Students have collected some notes, which they can refer to as they move through the year. The presenter will return later in the year to present further sessions around exam preparation.

All students were provided with a password to access the Elevate Education website where they will find useful information on how to survive senior school, including study habits, stress release, exam support, note taking ideas and typical exam questions.

The school has already advertised some online parent seminars that our school community can access every month or so. We will continue to do this throughout the year.

Elevate Education will be hosting a webinar Wednesday 29 March at 6.30pm for parents, focusing on 'How to Help Improve Your Child's Memory'.

Elevate Education works with our students, delivering high impact workshops on study skills, motivation, wellbeing, and exam preparation. By tuning into their webinar series you will learn how you can help better support your children at home through reinforcing the skills they learn at school.

In this webinar, Elevate will be informing parents on:

How memory actually works (and how it has nothing to do with brain capacity)

The most effective environments to assist in memorisation

3 techniques you can implement overnight to improve revision.

Studiosity

This online drafting program is proving very popular with senior students. Staff can access the portal, see what kinds of feedback students are receiving, and therefore structure some of the lessons to suit this. Please ask your child if they have used it and get them to show you the results. The school will continue to support this new program throughout the year.

Parent, Teacher and Student Interviews

These interviews will be held on Thursday 30 March and Tuesday 4 April. This is the very best time parents can support their student by finding out from their subject teachers how they are going and what they can be doing to improve their learning, study habits and thereby, results later in the year. Please make a booking with your child’s teachers using the online portal listed in this week's newsletter.

Attendance and Engagement

There are many presentations and useful activities that the school plans for our students. Some of these extend beyond the curriculum and are designed to support students wellbeing, engagement and study skills. Students need to attend these whether they are in their Beyond Tomorrow class, supervised study or sometimes subject lesson.
