Budgeting Session - Mr Englert

Money stress can feel overwhelming, but taking control of your finances is one of the most empowering steps you can take for your overall wellbeing. Whether you're struggling to make ends meet, saving for a goal, or simply want to feel more confident about your financial decisions, developing budgeting skills creates a foundation for both financial security and peace of mind. In this session, Mr Englert explored practical strategies to track your spending, prioritize your needs, and create a sustainable budget that works with your lifestyle—not against it. Remember, budgeting isn't about restriction; it's about making intentional choices that align with what matters most to you.

Study Skills Session - Mr Kelly

Effective studying isn't just about spending more hours with your books—it's about studying smarter, not harder. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by coursework, struggling to retain information, or simply want to optimize your learning process, developing strong study skills can transform both your academic performance and your relationship with learning. In this session, Mr Kelly explored evidence-based techniques for memory retention, time management, and creating study environments that support your success. You'll discover how to work with your natural learning style, manage study-related stress, and build sustainable habits that make learning more engaging and less stressful.

Living a Values-Driven Life - Mrs Brooke

Living authentically according to your personal values is fundamental to lasting happiness and fulfillment, yet many of us struggle to identify what truly matters to us or feel disconnected from our core beliefs in daily life. When there's a gap between what we value and how we actually live, it can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction, stress, and a sense that something important is missing. In this session, Mrs Brooke explored how to clarify your personal values, recognize when you're living in alignment with them, and develop practical strategies for making decisions and choices that honor what matters most to you. This isn't about perfection—it's about creating more moments of authenticity and meaning in your everyday life.
