Time to work together

For everyone now the battle for ranks is over, so instead of working to beat each other it is time to work together. The better a school group's overall results in the HSC exam, the better the comparison to the rest of the state. This can be beneficial in the moderating process.

I suggest you work together with a friend or friends who do common subjects. Two heads are better than one, and if you're both committed and motivated you could help each other a lot by sharing resources and testing each other.

For Kellyville kids we will have organised study sessions at school on the following dates:
Wednesday 7th October at 9.30am (in the hols)
Tuesday 27th October at 1.15pm (after Maths)
Wednesday 28th October 9.00am
Thursday 29th October 1.15pm (after Biology)

These dates won't suit everyone, so check your exam timetable carefully to work out which sessions fit your study program best.

By now you should have a reliable and organised study program at home. You should be making topic summaries, practising past papers, doing lots of multiple choice questions and familiarising yourself with the graphs and tables in Australia's Health 2008 that relate to the major causes of sickness and death. I've put the AIHW link on this page for easy access, though I know most of you will have it already.

In particular get plenty of sleep, stay off the grog, eat properly and sacrifice a couple of shifts at work for the next month or two. In short, apply the principles of what you have just studied about diet, psychology, reversibility, overload, recovery and perhaps even technology to IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE.
