Senior School Library Transformed into Y12 Study Space

Article by Emily Jones, Teacher Librarian – Yirramboi campus

With SWOTVAC starting this week, marking the end of formal Unit 3/4 classes, our students are entering an important period of preparation ahead of their final exams. During this time, the Senior School Library becomes a dedicated space for Year 12 students to study, collaborate, and seek feedback.

To support students during this final stretch, we have created a dedicated space for silent, independent study, as well as areas for collaboration, meeting with teachers, and seeking additional support. Students can also utilise a range of resources to help them study effectively, including tips and strategies for successful revision, templates for organisation and note taking, and practice exam resources to help structure their revision. We have also implemented a convenient practice exam pick-up and drop-off point, making it easy for students to submit completed practice exams to their teachers for feedback. 

Alongside these initiatives, students also have access to templates, stationary supplies, and a range of brain break activities for when they need a moment to reset and give their minds a well-deserved break! They can browse our collection of nostalgic quick reads or take part in the Dictionary Word of the Week or weekly riddle. We encourage all students undertaking Unit 3/4 examinations to make use of these spaces and resources, and to reach out to the teacher librarians whenever they need assistance.

It has been wonderful to see students already making the most of the study space and we wish all our Year 12 students, and everyone undertaking a Unit 3/4 exam, the very best for the weeks ahead. Your hard work and dedication are to be commended!
