This 3 hour event challenges students about their readiness to meet the challenges of senior study and provides strategies to maximise their personal effectiveness.

It takes into consideration the varying skill sets, backgrounds and future directions of students.

The program enables participants to develop personalised study plans to enable them to maximise their strengths and overcome their weaknesses.

“You have helped me see ways to achieve my goals”

“He was the best speaker we have ever had. “

Suitable for years 11 – 12 . 

  • Get a grip on me (Learning styles)
  • Get a grip on everything else (Prioritisation, organisation, environment)
  • Get a grip and take charge (Visioning, goal setting, Time management, Personal Plan)

Participants use a comprehensive notebook to map their personal plan for successful study.

As a result of this session students will:

Identify their predominant learning styles.

Develop strategies to maximise the benefit of operating in those styles and strategies to operate in a weaker style when necessary.

Understand that different subjects demand different approaches to learning and acquire the skills to adjust appropriately.

Be aware of the impact of external factors that undermine learning and explore strategies to minimise any negative influence.

Develop a personal study directive that outlines their goals and time management procedures for senior study.
