For the information of families new to the College (and a reminder to existing students), we are a subscriber to the Study Skills website www.studyskillshandbook.com.au, having first subscribed to this online resource back in 2012.

Continuing this year, our subscription allows every College student free access to this very handy website, one that will help your child develop essential skills for academic success.  There are units of work on improving time management skills, how to study, research skills, summarising, technology use, brain and memory, and much more.  

Everything you need to know about becoming a more powerful learner and improving your marks at school can be found on this site.  For example, learn how the colour of your room affects your ability to study, what the best study techniques are for your type of brain, how to improve your handwriting, and useful software and Apps to block yourself from technology distractions.  You will also see lots of useful handouts, grids and planners at the bottom of the THINGS TO PRINT page.

To access the handbook, go to www.studyskillshandbook.com.au and login with these details:

We'll be sending out periodic reminders via the College newsletter of the monthly Study Skills Tips, and today we begin with:
