Preparing for Next Year in the School Holidays
Here are some tips from the Regional Pathways Program team regarding how to prepare for next year in the school holidays:
- Utilise a study timetable to organise when you will study (it doesn't have to be for a long time - you could simply study one hour every weekday!).
- If you are struggling to focus, try out the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of focused work with no distractions, and then a break for 5 minutes).
- Use the VCE Study Designs as a guide for what to focus your study on (Listing of study designs).
- Read/watch your English texts (if you know what they are) - this will help you make a start on your analysis!
- Write down questions you have or points you get stuck on while studying so that you can remember to ask your teachers when you get back to school.
- Remember to schedule in time for relaxation and fun (rest is also productive!).
We hope everyone has a safe and fun filled school holidays!
