SPECIAL REPORT: Healthy Study Habits

With assessment, exams and everyday learning comes the challenge of helping our young people develop study habits that support both academic success and wellbeing.

SchoolTV’s latest Special Report explores practical ways parents and carers can support healthy study habits, including:
- Creating a regular study routine
- Focusing on quality rather than simply spending more time studying
- Taking regular breaks and avoiding last-minute cramming
- Prioritising sleep, exercise and downtime
- Supporting young people to manage academic stress

Healthy study habits aren’t about doing more — they’re about finding strategies that help young people learn effectively while maintaining balance.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MOOT TEAMS

Recently our Year 11 students competed in the QUT Law - High School Moot Competition.

Students took on the roles of both prosecution and defence in two moot court cases, preparing detailed written submissions and presenting persuasive oral arguments. Their performances were assessed by a panel of judges, including practising judges, crown prosecutors, and university law lecturers.

The students were commended for their advocacy skills, critical thinking, and flexibility in responding to the complex legal issues raised in the cases they argued.
A special thank you to Mr Hansen for generously giving his time to coach and support our students throughout their preparation.

We are incredibly proud of the dedication, professionalism, and skill our students demonstrated. Well done to everyone involved!

What a fabulous Book Week!

Last week our Junior, Middle and Senior School students embraced the 'Symphony of Stories' Book Week and celebrated all things book related with dress ups, parades, picnics, bookmark creation, door decorations, storytelling, and, of course, reading!

From creative displays to 'Top Borrower of the Year' awards, to music performances in the library, and author visits, including Morris Gleitzman... there was something for everyone.

A huge thank you to our students and staff for making Book Week such a celebration of reading and creativity.

Keep reading, keep discovering, and keep getting lost in a good book!
