Elevate

By Ms Milenkovich - Assistant Principal

During our Empowering Learners Program, we held several Elevate workshops for our students. These sessions are presented by university students who have recently faced and aced high school and focus on teaching students positive learning habits that have proven to be effective in relation to the development of study skills.

 

Practical skills students can use immediately

Elevate seminars are based on 17 years of ongoing research into the habits and techniques of top students, ensuring students get simple, practical and effective skills that can be used immediately.

Short, sharp sessions across the year

Elevate runs sessions in short, sharp, 60-minute workshop-style groups, in order to match student attention spans and hone in on a niche skill area.

More sessions will be held throughout the year to suit the year level of students and complement their learning programs.

 

Supported by parent workshops

The greatest change in student behaviour occurs when study skills are supported by both staff and parents, with everyone speaking the same language. Elevate runs parent workshops to get them on the same page with the program and share best practices for reinforcing these skills in the home. Links to these workshops are regularly shared on the Compass News Feed for all families.

 

Consistent practice

Engagement Curriculum Teachers will reinforce what is learnt in Elevate sessions in their Discovery, Explore, Connect, and STEP classes. Each Elevate session has several follow-up sessions to practise the skills that are learnt.
