5th and 6th year students will be doing a Study Skills Workshop on January the 8th and 9th with Inspire Education. Parents/Guardians are asked to make the payment of €14 through the school app.
This will be an encouragement for students to get into a positive frame of mind with the upcoming mock exams in February.
Overview of the workshop:
Students will be introduced to the five steps to exam success in a dynamic and structured way. They will examine brain plasticity and its role in success. They will explore a range of multi-sensory study and revision strategies. Maximise will also examine the role of sleep, nutrition and technologies in overall wellbeing. Students will devise an exam countdown planner as part of an exploration of effective time management tools and that builds on the evidence around spaced practice. Finally, students will be shown how to prepare psychologically for exam time and how to maximise exam techniques.
Each student receives an A4 booklet during the seminar that also contains follow-on activities.
