Good afternoon everyone,

Earlier today Elevate Education presented ‘Study Skills Kick Start” seminars to each of the individual Pastoral Classes. Individual presenters, all of whom have recently left school and are currently studying at various universities across Sydney, dedicated their 1 hour time slot to sharing some skills that will complement much of the good work that already occurs in the classroom on a daily basis. These skills transfer across to all Key Learning Areas of study and included:

• Dynamic Reading
• Formatting Notes
• Memorising notes using trigger words, and
• Mind Mapping

Each of these skills become increasingly significant as students progress to the next stage of learning and are particularly important in Years 11 and 12 as students prepare for their final exams. Year 8 are to congratulated for their application to the sessions and we thank the team from Elevate Education and the staff who supported the students during this activity.

As mentioned in earlier Newsletters, Elevate Education are running a series of Webinars throughout the term, which parents and carers of which Mount Carmel are invited to be a part. Elevate provide a recording of the previous Webinar, as well as a link to the upcoming event. Information and links to these sessions are included below.

The recent webinar was on Time Management - how to end the battle over homework deadlines, study schedules and prioritisation. It aired live on Wednesday 24 February, but you can access the replay below. 

Additionally, the next webinar is on Tech Devices - setting boundaries and promoting self-regulation with teens. The webinar will help to answer your questions around 'how much screen-time is too much", how to create positive habit-loops with your child, and what apps and technology you can use to help your child, rather than hinder them. You can register for that event here.

House Leadership

As part of our Opening School Mass today, our Year 10 House Leaders were announced and presented with their badges, which had been blessed by Father Shane during Mass. Congratulations to all House Captains and Vice Captains for their willingness to be part of this opportunity to work collaboratively as a team, to develop presentation skills and promote House spirit across the college community. We wish them every success for the upcoming year.
