Elevate Education – Study Sensei Seminar
On Monday 16 February, Year 10 students attended the Study Sensei seminar delivered by Elevate Education.
The session focused on using the syllabus to guide study, organising and reviewing effective notes, developing deep conceptual understanding, making the most of practice exams, and building independent learning habits. Students engaged positively and reflected on practical strategies they can implement straight away.
We encourage families to continue these conversations at home to help students establish strong study routines early in the year.
Welcome to all Senior School students and families as we begin the 2026 school year. It has been a successful and positive start, with students settling into routines and engaging well in their learning.
