A Reminder: We are delighted to share an open invite (attached pdf) that we have received from the Patrician Secondary School for Senior Cycle students and parents to a Careers Fair taking place in the Patrician Secondary School this evening Thursday 29th September. As you can see from the list of exhibitors there's something for everyone, from all the major colleges to apprenticeships, Gardai, Defence Forces and the world of work. There is no need to book, just turn up on this evening. 

This week is Study Skills Focus Week in HFSS and we are looking at tips on how to improve students’ study habits and ultimately improve their learning and exam results. As part of this, all student , during Tutor Time on Monday, had a session on “Study Skills”. This involved discussion on their study habits at present, watching a video on ‘Improving Study’ followed by discussion on how they would now improve their study habits.

Areas looked at included the importance of studying, creating a study plan, creating study aids, places to study, chunking material and time management.

Each day this week a video is posted in TEAMS for every year group on how to study and improve study skills. Videos are all expanding on areas which were discussed in Mondays Tutor Time. We also have a daily study tip.

This is the first Study Skills Focus Week of the year and is intended to be an introduction to this area. The plan is to get students to think and focus on study and the importance of getting into the routine of study at the beginning of the school year. Throughout the year we will be looking at various aspects of improving studying and learning.
