We recently received an email from our school's EA Liaison containing information about a study skills course. This may prove invaluable to our students who are currently studying for public exams this summer.

 

Ulster University's Schools Outreach Academy 

Study Skills Course

As we approach a very busy time in your schools' calendar with Term/Mock/GCSE/A' Level exams only 10 weeks away, we have developed a new course to support revision; "Study Skills". 

We are extremely conscious that the past 2 years in relation to Covid/home schooling has been so difficult for our young people and for many this is the first return to formal exams, therefore if in a small way we can offer our support and encouragement to your pupils entering this revision period with this study skills pack.

The new "Study Skills" short course is targeted at Year 10 - 14 pupils. This course is designed to help pupils plan for their upcoming exams and teach some revision techniques to aid learning at home. 

During this short course you will have the opportunity to take part in a number of activities including creating your very own study zone, figuring how your brain works, creating a range of study materials using our free downloadable study pack, learning some recall strategies and how to reduce stress during studying.
