Each year, the Support for Learning Department offers a range of workshops to assist pupils with their memory and study skills. The workshops are open to any pupil who wishes to attend.
Maybe the stress of exams gets on top of you?
Just don’t know where to start with studying?
Perhaps it seems impossible to remember everything you need to?
Quite often a small change in approach can make a big difference. One of the most common things Mrs Lees notices is pupils who spend a long time just reading over pages and pages of notes as their approach to studying and who are then disheartened with poor results as they spent an enormous amount of time studying in this way. The aim of each workshop is to add strategies and methods to the tool belts of pupils so that they can vary their approach and find ways that work for them.
The workshops are detailed below and Mrs Lees would encourage as many pupils as possible to sign up for them. You can sign up online by clicking on the relevant links here below or by visiting the the SfL Hub in Craigweil Lodge. All workshops start at 1.20pm in The Hub.
