Year 12 Study Skills Camp 2019
Year 12 is an exciting and challenging year for students completing their final year of study. To address these challenges and assist our students to successfully meet the demands of Year 12, Hampton Park Secondary College has organised a Study Skills Camp.
The aims of this camp include to:
- develop a connected group of Year 12 students
- develop their skills for the successful completion of their Year 12 studies with sessions that focus on:
- understanding ATAR scores and establishing appropriate goals
- preparing a study planner for effective time management
- developing skills in essay writing
- participating in stress management activities and understanding the importance of good nutrition, sleep and physical activity in improving academic and social success
Attendance at the Study Skills Camp is compulsory. Classes will not be held at the College during camp days. The camp includes two nights accommodation, bedding, transport, chef prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner, guest speakers, educational and adventure based activities.
Date: Wednesday 6th to Friday 8th of February
Where: PGL Campaspe Downs, 1302 Trentham Road, Kyneton
Cost: $250.00 per person
Travel: Buses will pick up students on Wednesday and return them on Friday
Please note that the Government set up a Camps, Sports and Excursion (CSEF) fund to provide payments for students to attend school events to the amount of $225 per year. Families who were eligible and have CSEF funds available will automatically have this money applied to pay the cost of the camp. The amount due by individual students will be shown on the permission form through Compass.
Payment may be made regularly at the office in any amount with full payment required by Friday 9th November.
Detailed itineraries including departure times and materials lists will be distributed to students at the start of Term One 2019.
The Senior School Team are very excited to offer our students this opportunity to assist students in excelling in their Year 12 studies. If you have any questions about the camp please contact Mr Christiansen or Ms Glenn at the College on 8795 9400.
