2027 Early Start Study Sessions

Preparing for Success

Students approved to undertake an Early Start subject in 2027 recently participated in two after-school study sessions designed to help them prepare for the exciting transition into VCE.

Facilitated by Year Level Leaders, Nick Elliot and Laura Knox, the sessions provided students with valuable opportunities to develop the skills, strategies and confidence needed to successfully manage the increased expectations of VCE.

A highlight of the sessions was hearing from current Early Start students, who shared their experiences and offered practical advice on navigating the step-up into VCE. Students also participated in workshops focused on developing essential study skills, including effective note-taking, summarising and paraphrasing.

Beyond academic skills, students explored practical time management strategies, ways to maintain their wellbeing and approaches to balancing the VCE workload with their other commitments. These discussions encouraged students to think proactively about the habits and routines that will support their success in the year ahead.

We had excellent attendance for both sessions and a high level of student engagement, demonstrating the enthusiasm and commitment of students as they prepare for this next stage of their learning journey.

We look forward to seeing our Early Start students put these strategies into practice as they take on the challenges and opportunities of VCE in 2027.
