Senior School

From the Head of Senior School 

I was delighted to welcome a team from Elevate onto campus last Friday.  The three young, energetic presenters offered our Year Eleven students a lively experience with plenty of interaction.  Two groups participated in a session called, ‘Ace Your Exams’ while another group worked through a session called ‘Student Elevation’. 

'Ace Your Exams' gave our students practical tips on how to prepare for exams. This included how they should plan and spend their preparation time and how to use teachers and peers to make improvements to their performance.

'Student Elevation' focused on goal setting and how to overcome some of the hurdles which present themselves when striving to reach for goals.

As you may recall from a previous article, Elevate pride themselves on their dynamic presentations and I was impressed with the way that Tory was able to involve every member of the group I was supervising.  Elevate also boast that they work with the top performing schools across Australia; this includes the top eight performing schools in WA by median ATAR.  More information about Elevate can be found here: About | Elevate Education.

Students’ feedback included:

‘My session made me think about my goals and the steps I need to take to achieve them.  And how to be more motivated. The presenter was really engaging and explained it all really well.  Definitely gave me something to think about.’

‘Lots of small goals = big achievement’.

‘Ace your exams was really useful, especially a few weeks before exams’.

‘I liked the staying calm techniques and the exam room techniques’.

‘I really benefited from this’.

‘I would highly recommend this program’.

Perhaps you could have a chat with your Year Eleven and see if they are putting what they learnt into practice!
