Study Skills Workshops

Last week, all High School students had the opportunity to examine their study habits through a series of workshops offered by Elevate Education (for Years 8-12) and Dr Prue Salter from Enhanced Learning Educational Services (for Year 7 and parents). These presenters are regulars at Emanuel School, each year contributing a range of strategies for study and academic success to our students’ toolkits, targeted at the specific learning needs of each year group.

Elevate and ELES each provide an online resource library accessible to Emanuel families.
