Farewell Year 12 Szenes, 2019

Last Friday Szenes House farewelled our Year 12s with a traditional breakfast, cake and gifts, including a yellow gerbera. We also thanked our Year 12 Tutor, Ms Goldmann, for her dedicated support of her students, especially in their HSC year.

We wish 12 Szenes every success and happiness in their HSC Examinations and beyond.

Goals

So, now that we have officially made it through three quarters of the year, it is time to start thinking about what we would like to improve on for examinations and for next year. Some advice to have both a productive and enjoyable holiday is:

• Read over your feedback
  • Reading over your feedback is a great way to work out what you need to improve on for next term.
• Take breaks
  • Enjoy the fresh air, spend time with friends and family and make sure you are not too focused on only school, because once school holidays are over, there won’t be the same amount of free time you need to recuperate.
• Write down your goals
  • While this is probably said all the time, writing goals can give you an idea of what you want to achieve, and is actually better than just keeping it in your head, as you have definitive proof of what you want to do, what your aiming for and how you can achieve it. Remember to add your goals to Edumate.

Mazal Tov to:
