SGC Parents and Students Study Skills Evening - Dr Prue Salter

Dear Valens Family,

The Year 7 boys and I will participate in an interactive evening with Dr Prue Salter on Tuesday 23rd March (6:30 pm - 8:00 pm) that outlines tools and techniques for our boys to achieve their personal academic best.

Dr Prue Salter is the founder of ELES (www.enhanced-learning.net) and an expert in

the area of study skills. She has conducted over 5000 study skills seminars across Australia and Asia, has written 40 study skills resource kits for schools and is the creator of the online and interactive study skills website (www.studyskillshandbook.com.au) used by more than

120,000 students. Dr Salter’s PhD explored whole-school integrated approaches to developing students’ self-regulated learning skills.

The main areas that will be covered:

- Managing homework and assignments effectively by efficient time management.

- Learning to be more organised for school and at home using structures and routines.

- Working and studying effectively in high school and becoming a more powerful learner.

After the event, I will post some questions here to act as cues so that when you speak to your son he can elaborate on the areas covered, as well as new study habits that they will adopt and implement moving forward.

Kind regards,

Tevita
