The Study Centre will commence in Week 1 of Term 3, Wednesday July 23, 2025.
What is the Study Centre?
Study Centre will be held in the library and will be open to all students looking for a space to work in peer groups to advance their literacy and numeracy skills.
What is the purpose of the Study Centre?
We hope that by explicitly assisting students to assess their own work as well as their peers it will provide a forum for critical analysis of their own efforts and assist them to become more autonomous learners.
Which students should attend the Study Centre?
Whilst the Study Centres is available to all students we would suggest it would be highly valuable to students in Year 11 and 12.
What Support will be available as a part of the Study Centre?
The focus on for Monday sessions will be on developing writing skills and literacy with the support and supervision of an English teacher whilst students work in peer groups.
The focus for the Wednesday sessions will be on numeracy where students will also work in peer groups with the support and supervision of a Mathematics teacher.
How will the peer groups be organised?
Students may form their own peer groups but supervising teachers will also assist to allocate students to peer groups during these sessions if required. The supervising teachers will also oversee and offer support as required through these sessions.
What should students bring to the Study Centre?
Students are encouraged to bring work relevant to these focus areas that will support where they need targeted assistance.
How does my child sign up for the Study Centre?
If your child wishes to join the Study Centre they can just come to the library on either the Monday or Wednesday afternoons and make themselves known to the supervising teacher.
If you have specific concerns about your childs learning the first point of contact should be your childs teacher.
If you have any questions regarding the Study Centre please contact Mr David Sherwin (Relieving Principal) or Ms Carolyn Mattick (Relieving Principal).
