THRIVE Academic Success Program

We continue to use THRIVE to invite guest speakers along to provide post school information to students. However with final exams for Year 11 around the corner we thought some of our Year 12’s would be best for some advice based on their learned experience. Many thanks to Claire, Jessica, Allanah, Caitlyn O, Matt, Nixon, Demetrios and Caitlyn S for their heartfelt insights. 

 

Their advice was varied and included:

  • Take on board the feedback you receive, seek it out, use it to refine your responses.
  • Be consistent- develop a regular routine. A routine for studying, a routine for downtime.
  • Procrastination is the enemy- have a plan whether it is a to-do list or a study timetable, follow it with diligence.
  • Use study periods wisely. It will free up more time at home for some down time, sport or other study.
  • Be kind to yourself- develop a balance between work and rest. Have one night off a week to unplug and recharge.
  • Don’t drink too many glasses of coffee or energy drinks before exam
  • Sometimes you will get marks that are disappointing and use this as motivation to improve.
