Elevate Study Skills
PARENT SEMINAR
On Thursday 3 March, Lilydale High School will host an Elevate Study Skills Parent Seminar ONLINE. The session will commence at 6 pm.
This seminar is aimed at parents and carers of students from ALL YEAR LEVELS. It will provide parents and carers with strategies to get on the same page as their children so that parents can reinforce the skills taught in class at home.
Parent and Carer expectations and their discussions about learning are among the most critical success factors in children's school achievement. This seminar presents a fantastic opportunity to engage in these conversations with your children.
A link to access the online Parent Seminar will be sent via Compass. Links will be sent in the days leading up to and on the day of the seminar.
TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE:
TIME MANAGEMENT
How parents and carers can help their child manage their time effectively so they’re able to maintain a balanced routine and not leave tasks to the last minute.
STUDY SUPPORT
What kind of work is most valuable in helping to achieve higher marks? Presenters will discuss what good study looks like so parents can help their children work smarter.
MOTIVATION
Sometimes, the most challenging part of studying in high school is simply being motivated enough to do the work. This seminar will help parents and carers understand the key drivers behind student motivation and leverage these to help their child reach their potential.
FREE E-BOOK FOR PARENT SUPPORT
Parents and Carers are provided with access to the Elevate Parent E-book to follow up and extend on the best ways to support their child through high school.

Insurance / Ambulance Cover
The Department of Education does not provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students.
Parents and carers of students who do not have student accident insurance or ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including the cost of ambulance attendance or transport as well as any other transport costs. It is the responsibility of parents or guardians to look into their preferred options in this regard.
Parents and carers can purchase insurance policies from commercial insurers. The Department cannot provide on the purchase of individual student accident policy or ambulance cover.
Private property brought to school by students, staff or visitors is not insured and the Department does not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage. This can include mobile phones, calculators, toys, sporting equipment and cars parked on school premises.
As the Department does not hold insurance for personal property brought to schools and has no capacity to pay for any loss or damage to such property, students and staff are discouraged from bringing any unnecessary or particularly valuable items to school.
