All students in Year 7 students attend fortnightly guidance lessons with their Year Advisor.
Guidance lessons involve three main components:
Study Skills
Mindfulness & Habits of the Mind
Student Wellbeing
All students at Bomaderry High School require techniques for developing effective study skills. These skills allow students to discover their personal learning style, manage time efficiently, improve study habits, complete assessments and adequately prepare for exams.
Mindfulness & Habits of the Mind encourages students to train themselves in the way they think. When they control their thinking, they are better equipped to control their behavior, attitude and learning. This component works with study skills to promote successful learning at school.
The wellbeing component of this program deals with effective communication with peers, leadership, assertiveness training, volunteering, budgeting, values, anti-bullying, and multi-culturalism. The students will also be instructed on internet safety and cyber bullying prevention.
In total, these three components will give our students the tools for success in their learning and beyond the school as valued community members.
