Leading The Way

Head of Year 11 awinter@cns.catholic.edu.au
YEAR 11 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 7
The Importance of Regular Attendance for Academic Success
Regular attendance is crucial for students’ academic success. It ensures they don’t miss out on essential lessons and activities, helps students stay engaged, improves their understanding of classroom content, and leads to academic success.
Minimising Social Media Distractions
Excessive use of social media can distract students from their studies, leading to lower academic performance. Create a designated study time and space free from social media distractions and encourage prioritising school work before leisure activities.
Uniform Schedule: Week 7
