Years 9 and 11 Students Attend Study Skills Session

Year 9 students with Dr Prue Salter from Enhanced Learning Educational Services

This week Dr Prue Salter from Enhanced Learning Educational Services presented a study skills session to Year 9 and Year 11 students.

The sessions focused on helping students identify changes and improvements they could make to their approach to their studies in order to maximise their results while minimising stress.

The main areas covered by Dr Salter were working effectively in the evenings and dealing with distractions, managing time efficiently, planning for assessments, making brain-friendly study notes on a regular basis and using a wide variety of active study techniques to suit individual learning preferences.
