VCE
Year 11 & 12 VCE student workshops.
In week 2 this term both year 11 and 12 VCE students partook in two workshops conducted by Success Integrated with the outlook of extending students capacity and to assist students to better deal with distractions and stresses associated with their VCE studies.
Year 11 students participated in a workshop called “VCE Success Strategies Abridged” and focused on strategies such as; Self Talk, Goal setting, Time management, Reviewing of notes and Study skills.
At the same time year 12 students completed their workshop titled, “Achieve Your B.E.S.T” which covered topics such as; Growth vs Fixed mindsets, Attitude, dealing with failure and Grit.
Both workshops continued to build upon and develop skills and attributes built into this year’s VCE STEP program which runs for one period each week on a Tuesday.
