Academic Support

Get up with plenty of time to eat and be ready for learning

Have a learning space that works in your house: this might be your room, your kitchen table, or a study

Have your computer and charger, headphones, books, and relevant resources (eg. Google subjects folder, GoogleClassroom) ready to go

Don't forget about drinking enough water and eating well.

Check your emails and calendar in the morning before PC

Check your emails and calendar again in the afternoon

Communicate with your teachers after you receive your results, so that you can  identify an area of improvement

Communicate proactively with your teachers, to check that you understand the concepts and information being taught to you

Communicate proactively with your boarding staff; let them know how you're going, and ask them how they're doing!

Before school, recess, lunch, and after school are great times to get active

Go for a run, look up a yoga class or bodyweight workout video on YouTube, and work up a sweat!

Mow the lawns, fix the fence, wash the dishes, get in the garden, learn how to change a tyre, do a puzzle, learn how to cook a new meal, or play a board game

Find time each day to get away from your screens, and read a book or magazine

Sit quietly, and read something new

Talk to your siblings, parents, mates, or boarding staff about what you've read
