Study Tips as Term 2 Draws to a Close

The KRC have welcomed many students into our available “quiet” study spaces during lunchtimes and recess in the past week as they take up valuable moments to study for exams.  This pre-test / pre-exam time can be daunting for both parents and students so I have included some tips for you that may remind you about the basics of good study habits.

The first is BrainPop – this is an application that most boys in years 7 – 9 have used before.  It includes very short sharp concepts to consolidate an idea/topic.

Good luck to all students and families as they navigate final assessments for Term 2.  Hope you all have a lovely mid-year break!
