What a whirl wind term we have had and I cannot believe we are half way through this semester. We now have the important job of reflecting on our progress and implementing strategies to improve. A good starting point is to identify strengths and weaknesses in each course. This will allow students to make a targeted approach to their study. A wealth of study resources have been uploaded into the library on our Yr11 Connect page. Take a look and see how you can implement some of these strategies in order to improve your understanding and application of course content.

Year 11 is a bit like a marathon, you need to pace yourself, manage your time appropriately and not go at full speed otherwise you are at risk of burn out. With the holidays just days away, it is the perfect time to take a bit of break and get back on track with those good habits. Check in with yourself and ensure you look after both your mental and physical health. Take some time to get organised and prepare yourself for Term 2 which will help to reduce your stress as you approach first semester exams.

I would like also like to congratulate our Year 11 students who represented our school at the Interschool Swimming Carnival and thank the Student Leadership team for their help and support during Harmony Week. It was a huge success celebrating the amazing cultural diversity we have at school.

Lastly, just a reminder, if you need any support in navigating Year 11 please do not hesitate to get in contact. Have a safe and restful holidays.
