 2 or 2½ hours a night, five times a week
 Develop a routine
 No such thing as “I don’t have any homework”
       Revising
       Memorising (still necessary)
       Preparing Summaries
       Reading different text types (not just novels)
 Mark and correct errors in Maths
 Watch the news
 Good thinking is not necessarily pretty – real learning
  is often messy
Learning Tips for Students in Year 8


 Ask thoughtful questions and listen to the answers
 Read widely, including non-fiction (the news!)
 Request help early, not last minute
 In assignments and tests, keep checking that you are
  answering the question, not just filling space
 Efficiently manage time – ask your Advisor for tips
 Use the marking guideline, it works
 Concentrate on the concept, not the marks
 Get some good learning friends, who motivate one
  another
How can a parent help ?

   Assist your daughter to organise herself to meet
    deadlines
   Model curiosity and a thirst for learning
   Encourage her to accept offers of help from her teacher
   Discourage plagiarism and procrastination
   Read drafts to help identify problems but don’t solve
    them
   Discuss world events, suggest alternate viewpoints
   Encourage your daughter to tell her teacher about
    difficulties
   Send her to bed if she is over-tired, write a note in her
    diary
