YEAR 11 AWARDS NIGHT
IMPROVING OUR STUDY SKILLS…
We are all aware that a major contributor to student success in the HSC is skills development and content knowledge and understanding in the courses chosen for study. We are also aware that knowing how to study well- having a successful timetable of study, having a growth mindset, setting goals and finding the right balance are some of the big contributors to this success.
To enable our students to do their best, John Therry has a rigorous teaching and learning program led by efficient and diligent educators. In addition, we have employed the services of Elevate Education, an organisation that supports 1050 schools across Australia with effective study skills workshops to facilitate more effective learning, improve learning outcomes and increase overall student performance.
Elevate education team members have been working with staff, students and parents since last year and, this week, they were back at John Therry to deliver 2 workshops to our Year 12, 2020 students- Student Elevation and Memory Mnemonics.
In addition, an Elevate Education team member also presented to the parents of our Year 12 students at the Year 12 2020 Information evening.
